I went into my kitchen closet, opened it and was prepared to throw out all my canned goods. I saw green beans, black olives, Alan's low-salt tomato sauce. I mean, I'VE GOT CANS IN THIS CLOSET!!!

So I've decided to use what I have, and from that day on, make my own tomato sauce, using fresh tomatoes (I learned this from my italian grandmother). I'll use fresh or frozen veggies, and I most certainly won't be heating up anything in the microwave in plastic bowls...or covering the food up with Plastic Wrap and heating it up. The guy doing the report said "and the one thing everybody should never do, from this day on, is put plastic wrap on food and heat it up in your microwave. Thankfully, I've rarely done this.

I have a PLASTIC microwave cover, (with two little holes). Is this bad too??

Oh my god, what the hell are we supposed to drink out of, cook in, and use??

We're doomed!!
