    I don’t care how many studies are done on food safe plastics I still don’t like the idea of using them on my kitchen. That’s not to say I avoid them 100% but I do what I can to avoid them within reason. Like I feel after the whole BPA scare and banning them from use in food applications is a temporary thing and that it’s a matter of time until we find a problem with the new BPA-free liners.

      100%, I avoid using plastics as much as possible around anything that I ingest that involved heat somewhere in the production process. Not entirely possible, but I do what I can.

        Ya, I don’t believe you can completely avoid it. I’m with you though, reduce the use of it in the kitchen and with food wherever possible.

        Not only do I avoid plastic where heat is invloved but I also try and avoid plastic in places where mechanical friction or cutting is involved. Using steel mixing bowls and wooden cutting boards are two big ones for me to avoid adding bits of plastic to my food.
