I bought a bunch of magazines at the thrift store awhile back and have been enjoying them this winter, In 1 issue of Mother was an article on BPA in plastics
2009 issue.. Where have I BEEN? after reading the article I went through my kitchen cabinets and threw away anything that said CHINA plastic (just because i dont trust them) and I would and AM buying As much USA products as possible. so my losses were 5 plastic drinking cups Sterilite brand which were supposed to be bpa free but anytime u left a drink in those glasses it tasted like plastic yuck. plastic pitcher even my plastic cooking utensils, rubbermaid bowls (not made in china) were moved to the garage for storage bins.
On my shopping trip ( 3 stores) I was UNable to locate ANY utensils made in
the USA, so i didnt buy any. after looking at 3 different boxes of glasses i found anchor glassware Made in USA Great got me some of those,
onward now to the dollar store Alll China didnt buy anything,
last store i found Anchor Storage bowls with lids proudly announcing BPA free the lids are more rubbery than the ones made by Rubbermaid or sterilite, And the 1 cup bowls are made int he USA however when I picked up the larger bowls 4 cup size made in the USA OR China?? soooooo ummm where was THIS bowl made? hmm well since they werent there to answer me they lost a sale. bowls on shelf,
Looking at their utensils mostly farberware ALL Made in CHINA , Well I USED to like Farberware but now Im boycotting them too.
so 3 stores later and i came home with a dozen drinking glasses n 3 storage bowls and shocked at all the chinese garbage stocking the store shelves. I am planning on writing anchor a letter on the bowl issue but thought I'd share a little of my day~

But for the men and boys out there according to their study BPA causes testicular cancer and Penile deformation in babies. How can our FDA think this is a good product?
