11. The fact is that Americans love convenience

... I know I do. I use plastic bags like Ziploc, also plastic take-out containers, to store food in my refrigerator. But this is for temporary storage only, and never for reheating the same food in a microwave.

The danger of microplastics occurs mainly when the foods are frozen for a long period and then taken out and thawed in the same plastic container. When Ziploc bags came into wide use many years ago, I began to notice that my frozen foods took on a "plastic" taste even though the food wasn't spoiled. To me it was proof enough that plastic isn't safe, especially when thawing and reheating the frozen food.
