Thanksgiving: PVC Paradise

If you're like me, you eat a lot of food on Thanksgiving (I think most people do) yet somehow there always seems to be food leftover. And I'm sure that if you get stuck with the leftovers, late Thursday night you'll be whipping out the Ziploc bags and the plastic Tupperware. But wait! What if someone told you those plastic bags and containers were a toxic wasteland? Would you put your food in them? Well, they are! Plastic bags and containers can leach toxins just like plastic water bottles. These poisons can cause severe problems in your body. 

The solution: Pyrex containers. A Pyrex container is microwave safe, completely nontoxic and the plastic looking lid isn't plastic, it's silicone! In addition, Ziploc bags can take up to one thousand years to decompose. So, why would you even think about putting all those Thanksgiving leftovers into plastic?  If you're interested in healthy food choices on Thanksgiving, dont worry about what goes into the food! Worry about what the food goes into. Have a happy, PVC free Thanksgiving!
