Here's a great idea!

Cook your food in plastic!

All so you can avoid washing one pot.

Great idea!  

(Apparently they'd never heard or seen anything of BPA--bisphenol A and what it can do.  See any of the links below).

(PhysOrg.com) -- A new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers found that participants who drank for a week from polycarbonate bottles, the popular, hard-plastic drinking bottles and baby bottles, showed a two-thirds increase in their urine of the chemical bisphenol A (BPA). Exposure to BPA, used in the manufacture of polycarbonate and other plastics, has been shown to interfere with reproductive development in animals and has been linked with cardiovascular disease and diabetes in humans.

Those pesky scientists.

This also doesn't even begin to additionally address the fact that it adds yet more to our landfills AND the fact that plastic has a long, long life in those landfills (estimated at 1000 years).

What's that advertising slogan?  Oh, I remember:  "Better living through chemicals"

I don't think so.
