You should do as you want ofc but I don't trust anything that hasn't been proven toxic.

If they make a fine wine or a quality beer and put it in plastic (or something coated with plastic) I can't take the company seriously.

Tomatoes are the worse I hear because of their acidity. In the store there is a whole wall of canned tomatoes and plastic bottles. Non of the more expensive brands use it. The Tupperware comes out of the microwave all red? It even looks unappetizing.

If you can choose why go with the experiment? I'd pick the silverware over the plastic utensils every time.



My mum has been on the plastics thing since as long as I can remember (35+ years), we never had plastic in the house and if someone gave us something in tupperware mum wouldn't let us eat it, ha. Once I questioned her on this as I thought it was nuts, she said "plastic can melt, stretch, move, if it breaks off or leaks into our food it's toxic because it's chemicals, that is why we only use glass metal and wood in this house" - I still thought she was nuts, toxic plastic? What a load of hippie hogwash... I thought...
