Do you microwave food in the plastic it comes in? Apparently PETE plastic releases endocrine disrupters, antimony, phthalates, and other toxic shit directly into your food as it heats in the microwave.

I used to, but quit a few months ago. The minute I save at most isn't worth it considering how many chemicals I probably already am exposed to on a daily basis.

Here in britain, things have to be certified safe and non-harmful to be designated 'microwave-safe', and have a big warning on them if they don't pass that.

Tell me; how much does it hurt knowing that your government values corporations higher than people?

I'm not OP, but that doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I rather like it. I would prefer that the government not bother wasting any more resources than it already does on something that I can easily figure out on my own.

That's a lot of "The sky is falling" bullshit right there. Hyperbole, and people fearing what they don't understand. It's fine. Given how lawsuit happy our country is you can bet your ass that there is nothing harmful in there.

To answer your question, no, I don't microwave food in the plastic it comes in because I don't buy microwave meals. Generally speaking food that comes in a package doesn't taste very good and it's overpriced. Pic related is what food looks like. There's no risk or worry about silly packaging here.
