Get this...while shopping at Sam's Club this afternoon I came across a set of mixing bowls made in China. The label in big bold letters the box reads, Melamine Mixing Bowls. It feels like we are living in the twilight zone!

We got a pic of it on the camera phone if anyone is interested in seeing this for themselves.

Keep an eye out for that irradiated symbol and #3, 6 and 7 plastics. They say that # 1's 2, 4, and 5's are not so bad. the Number 5 is suposed to be the safest. Just found out also that Saran wrap and Zip lock brands are BPA free, but who knows what else lurks in them.
