Non Plastic Food Storage Containers for Your Healthy Kitchen!
Glass storage dishes are classic and classy. They are what moms decades ago used to store their extra food and leftovers. Vintage Pyrex refrigerator dishes anyone??? Then we had to go and get all "modern" and start using plastic. Why did we DO that? Why did we mess with a good thing?
Yes, glass usually does have a problem with breakage but plastic has its own issues, many of them. Did we really need to be so concerned about glass breaking that we had to start mass producing an alternative that is so indestructable it will sit in landfills FOREVER. In addition to the fool hardy practice of filling our planet with plastic it also has many unsavory chemicals in it and the propensity to leach them into things it comes in contact with. Plastics used to store food often have BPA, PVC, and phthalates. They are all things we don't want to come into contact with let alone eat.
BPA or Bisphenol A is a hormone mimicking chemical that can cause a lot of health problems, especially for children. PVC is known as the poison plastic. Phthalates are a family of industrial chemicals that are used as plastic softeners or solvents. They can damage the liver, the kidney and the reproductive organs. Why exactly do these sound like safe ingredients for dishes to store food in? Call me baffled!
This lens highlights some great alternatives for storing your food. It has glass and stainless steel alternatives that don't use harmful chemicals. Don't go to all the trouble of feeding your family healthy meals only to store them in toxic containers. Just say no to plastic.

- I do love glass - it is more visually appealing and I am very concerned about the chemical that can end up in my families' food. I'm happy to say that my son's preschool allows me to send his milk in a small glass yogurt container. Great topic! Do you have thoughts on some of the newer water bottles, etc., that are supposed to be free of BPA, PVC and Phthalate? My daughter's school does not allow glass containers!

- Ok, I checked. Stainless steel is perfectly fine with tomato sauce. It is aluminum that is a problem.
