Guest guest Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 We use "wellbeing glasslock" for food storage. The containers are glass and the tops are plastic. I usually put all of kiddo's food in those and try to make sure none of the food touches the plastic because, well, I have fallen down the rabbit hole and I will never look at plastic the same way - LOL.I don't remember where we purchased them but I do know it was someplace local - probably Fred Meyer or Costco or something similar (very inexpensive). Do the plastics from sandwich bags leech into food? I am seriously going to go live under a rock.

So, if you grew up in a Chinese neighborhood, chances are the height and weight of your football team would've averaged < less than say, the average of a football team in a predominantly Nigerian neighborhood. Plus, there are chemicals in things like certain plastics (like sandwhich bags) that mimic the human growth hormone....and all the hormones added to cattle....our kids are getting that. I don't where you could look for rates. A quick google search didn't turn up much.

How US kids compare to other kids from around the world, etc. When I was in high school 25 years ago, on our football team the biggest player was 160 lbs. I just can't believe how big my nephews are now !!!! I just don't know where to start, should I call someone in the dairy industry !!
