I was getting a bit discouraged over all of my time and effort to preserve my own food (some homegrown; other bought at the Farmer’s Market). Reading this sure did remind me why I should be more proactive in my own food supply. Thanks.

There seem to be many plastics companies that are making BPA-free products. At least I see them all over the place.

“BPA” should stand for “better products available” than BPA. Or perhaps Bogus Plastic Additive.

u r absolutely rite,there is no single healthy reason not 2 ban BPA. let me go out on a limb-they dont want 2 ban it due 2 the possibility of negative economic impact on their bottom line. 2 hell with the people,what about their salaries,bonuses & the share holders who could impact their comfy position. as usual the public gets screwed & they smile as they r gettin screwed as a result of their ignorance.
