Avoid Canned Food

CAR posted the following Green tip, C.A.R. GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK: PLASTIC LININGS IN CANSBisphenol-A, the hormone-disrupting chemical found in plastic bottles, is present in the majority of canned foods. The thin plastic lining found in canned goods contains traces of BPA that can migrate into food. One way to avoid BPA-lined cans is to purchase foods packaged in Tetra Paks, aseptic cartons made from layers of paper, aluminum, and polyethylene. I'd recommend a simpler solution - DON'T EAT CANNED FOOD. Choose the obvious solutions, be Green and be Health Conscious.
