Julia gave us Stainless steel water bottles for Christmas. I agree, eating fresh is best. There should be, ideally no need for "canned" items. Incredible that infant and child items contain harmful compounds. Legislation helps, education is better. I can't even fathom the amount of plastic bottles being sent to Haiti, so complaining about BPA seems trite, in that respect. When we went to Haiti, 2 years ago, the open storm drains were clogged with plastic soda bottles, and one or two lone people burning them in an open 55-gallon drum, sending up a plume of toxic black smoke. Bottles were actually being graded into land, where homes were to be built. It's quite a dilemma. A sad disparity between here, and there. Didn’t see any other responses here.
