Thought this was interesting. No one wants to use BPA in their plastics anymore... us moms sure don't want it in our kids' bottles and cups. Yet the FDA won't ban it... stating there isn't enough evidence to approve this bill.

Most companies that make bottles, etc, have already taken BPA out of them.
I am a big supporter of common sense and living life! ;)
I'm pretty much with everyone here. While I do limit the amount of canned foods I'm eating while pregnant, I'm doing it more because I want to stick with fresher foods. Certainly if I have the choice to purchase BPA-free over BPA, I will choose BPA free, because really, why not?
I actually try to avoid ALL plastic whenever possible!
I try to avoid the chemicals, artificial sweeteners, pestacides, hormoes, additives, etc, that plague our American diet!
And we have an orchard started with apples, plumbs, cherries, and pears...but again, it will be a few years before we are getting enough to can our fruit from it!
Milk is actually one thing I have decided not to do...having to be on such a strict schedule to milk cows, and having to FEED a mama cow is really expensive!
