My Food Storage Containers!

I am anti-plastic.  Even if it's the BPA free.  Who is to say that all the other ingredients in the BPA free plastic will not harm us some day.  I mean they sold us on the fact that BPA wouldn't harm us when they put it into everything.  OHHHHH  wait, that's right, they put it in everything and never told us!  And now even though study after study shows it's toxic for us our government decided to say it was ok to keep using and refused to ban it, even though other countries have.  So I am not the person to trust them not to have some other ingredient in their plastic that won't hurt me or my family.

Seems like everything is plastic thought doesn't it?  I am very psycho over what comes into my house, but especially for what my food is stored in.  Think about this, anything with any acidity level can cause one of the chemicals in plastic to make it leach into your food.  BPA free, sure,  but what else is leaching?

Well I have quite the collection of glass jars that I have kept from the items I buy.  I try to buy only items in glass jars or BPA free lined cans (which I don't keep).  I will even go as far as to buy a certain jars just for it's shape that I don't have but need and not care what product was in it just so I can have it for my collection.

You can do this and replace the plastic.  Try going by your dollar store, or here the Big Lots has great deals on the "glass jars" I need.  Like I said I don't care what's in them.  If you replace the plastic food containers in your house with glass you will be saving your family the BPA or even the unknown chemicals in the plastic that could harm you.


Give it a shot.
