let’s talk about why plastic isn’t the best choice for eating, especially if you’re mindful about what goes into your body. You might not realize it, but plastic can be pretty sneaky with the chemicals it releases, especially when it’s heated up. Think about it—when you microwave plastic containers, or pour hot soup into a plastic bowl, you’re actually encouraging some not-so-great stuff, like BPA and phthalates, to leach into your food. And these chemicals can mess with your hormones, which no one wants!

Then there’s the whole issue of microplastics. Over time, plastic breaks down into tiny particles that can end up in your food and drink, and we’re still learning about what that means for our bodies. But some studies suggest these particles can stress out our cells and cause inflammation. Not exactly the kind of “crunch” we’re looking for in our meals!
