      Ok… but what about the plastic in the microwave that’s part of the microwave?

      I think a glass and steel microwave oven could look pretty damn cool, but until we have those, I simply try not to cook my food on the microwave’s surfaces. :)

        Radiation isn’t always the same as radioactivity. Microwaves aren’t gonna cause you to mutate (they could boil the water in your body tho) or make your food irradiated. But I’m pretty sure the plastic is still plastic, and if all plastic is bad plastic then maybe we shouldn’t use microwaves at all.

        When it was growing in sunlight, aka red shifted gamma radiation coming from an open nuclear reactor?
