Plastic Freezer/Microwave container - unsuitable for tomato based sauces - why?

Oh FFS - people will get their knickers in a twist about anything. Do you all really want to live until you're 126? My nan's 97 and all she thinks about is dying

For fucks sake what are you on about? Is being concerned about my health unreasonable? Did I say I wanted to live til I'm 126? Calm the fuck down you muppet

thats not what i said, i said i would re-use them if i needed to.
i will bin a bottle thats been out in the sun and ones that are old and so on because i thinks thats sensible. i think there is an element of truth to it and so where there is an alternative i would opt for the alternative and where there is not i wouldnt worry too much because as i said before the stuff ive read doesnt conclude it to pose a certain risk to health

Sorry to go on but it's not sensible. If you throw away a bottle you could reuse to hold water for a couple of hours in favour of one that's held water for weeks or even months you're imbibing more chemicals than you need to.

There's a good reason why Evian is naive spelled backwards

Not you, the plastic water bottle thing. Makes no sense. But if I'm being honest, I think it's a teeny bit hysterical to worry about plastic leaching into your pasta sauce when you cycle through tons of pollution every day.

depends how long you've had the original bottle though doesnt it, and if that bottle has been heated.... the truth is there are people who insist that nobody should eat anything that has been in contact with any sort of plastic packaging, so straws, ready meal containers and just about every other thing available at supermarkets are all out but you cant live like that, well i suppose you could if you had nothing else to get on with.

trashpony, you're right that people get hysterical about things like this when there are bigger, more imperative issues, but i dont think it hurts to be aware of this stuff

I cycle cos I have to, I cant avoid it, but I if can avoid eating plastic-laced food, I will

BTW I am like a bear with a sore head today

 

[baldrick]

well, i am eating tomato-based pasta sauce from a recycled plastic takeaway container that i've put in the microwave.

do i care? errr, no.

you will when you get cancer!

My nan's 97 and all she thinks about is dying

Give her a gram of MDMA for her 98th birthday? Crushed up pills in the birthday cake? Bit of whizz in her morning sherry? Crack pipe after luncheon?

We're all going to get cancer. Stop whinnying.

It always confuses me when I hear on radio that the number of heart disease deaths - or whatever - has gone down, and that as such fewer people are dying.

NO. NO. NO. We are all dying. And we all will die. We're not REDUCING NHS costs when we put off people's deaths; we're delaying NHS costs. At the moment, there's all sorts of hoo-haa and kerfuffle around heart disease and cancer and strokes. What the fuck are we meant to die of? Invincibility? Mutant kitten danger? The next ice age? The reincarnation of Tyrannosaurus Rex? The wrath of the Jeebus?

We seem to be heading towards more cancers. Very well! More cancers and fewer coronary deaths it is! FFS, in 500 years time, the only thing people will be dying of is the one remaining particularly obscure form of untreatable pancreatic obscurity, and cat AIDS.

Were proabably increasing NHS costs by staying alive longer tbh we should all be shot at 60, get a free bus pass at 40 and retire at 50
