Though microwave ovens are time-saving machines, they are very costly in the long run.  You won't find one in my home.

Read this article is from Dr. Mercola's website: www.mercola.com.  "I am not a fan of cooking foods in the microwave for a number of reasons, which I've covered extensively in this past article. Microwaved food has been associated with the following problems:

·         Causes your food to vibrate at very high frequencies, changing your food's chemical structure, structurally deforming its molecules and potentially making nutrients unrecognizable and unusable by your body.

·         Creates the formation of free radicals and carcinogenic molecules.

·         May result in actual changes to cellular DNA.

·         May corrupt or destroy biophotons (light energy in living food).

·         Some microwave ovens leak microwave radiation into the surrounding environment.

If you want to make use of your microwave, use it to clean your dishrags and sponges, but not to prepare food for your family."

For more information, go to his website.  He spells out why plastics are problem, especially in microwave ovens.  Don't fool yourself.  There's a reason cancer and neural diseases are on the rise.  Face these truths and rid yourself of the microwave habit.

"Most kids don’t come close to getting enough exercise daily and don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables: 62% of 1,630 parents with children ages 5 to 10 say their kids eat junk food one to four days a week. Only 14% of parents say their kids eat at least five fruits and vegetables a day.These results shed light on the reasons for the childhood obesity epidemic. About a third of children in the USA are overweight, which puts them at higher risk for type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and other health problems."*

Food companies are jumping on the appeal of  sugar and salt flavor combinations.  This flavor profile is a recipe for obesity… and other illnesses.  Outsmart them and don’t buy such products they will sell in stores and at fast-food restaurants.  Instead, stick to fresh foods and season them yourself with a little sea sale or sugar.
