How I threw out my microwave and joined the nutters

I am not sure what triggered this one. I didn't even call an 800 number. I have always known that microwaves may not be the best thing around. I mean it can't be good that you can't get near it with a pacemaker and it interferes with my wireless internet. I know the food doesn't taste as good, but the convenience is hard to argue with.

Just little things. A stupid picture of a water molecule after it had been microwaved looked very sick. Something someone said on the Tom Martino show about them when I was agreeing with everything else he said. Finding out that 60 seconds in the microwave will kill everything there is in a nasty sponge. What is it doing to the food?

I started looking on line. I found a couple of alarming reports, all old, no new, nothing substantiated. But what threw me over the edge and made me throw it out was the one that said the FDA says it is safe. I do not trust the FDA, I think they are out to kill us, or at least make us sick so they can make money on drugs.

I told my poor long suffering husband the next morning that I was throwing it out. He asks if I have any proof. No, just a feeling. Ok, that is good enough for me, he says.

He says we need aluminum foil. I said yes we do. He says oh, you know I need to make you a hat? I said hat? We need it to reheat stuff in the new toaster oven we are going to get.

He makes me a hat and when I told a friend she said to be more stylish I need a metal colander for my head. I agree.

The upside is the food really does taste better.
