NO to Microwave

When the helper from my mom's house went to mine and asked to have their left over food nuked, I got reminded why I had to let go of our almost 7 year old microwave. I told them that we don't microwave food anymore. My folks just got back from the States and as expected they got used to nuking food over cooking/heating the conventional way.

Here's a snip from HerbalHealer.com:

Is it possible that millions of people are ignorantly sacrificing their health
in exchange for the convenience of microwave ovens? Why did the Soviet Union ban
the use of microwave ovens in 1976? Who invented microwave ovens, and why? The
answers to these questions may shock you into throwing your microwave oven in
the trash.

Over 90% of American homes have microwave ovens used for meal
preparation. Because microwave ovens are so convenient and energy efficient, as
compared to conventional ovens, very few homes or restaurants are without them.
In general, people believe that whatever a microwave oven does to foods cooked
in it doesn't have any negative effect on either the food or them. Of course, if
microwave ovens were really harmful, our government would never allow them on
the market, would they? Would they? Regardless of what has been "officially"
released concerning microwave ovens, we have personally stopped using ours based
on the research facts outlined in this article.

The purpose of this report is to show proof - evidence - that microwave cooking is not natural, nor healthy, and is far more dangerous to the human body than anyone could imagine. However, the microwave oven manufacturers, Washington City politics, and plain old human nature are suppressing the facts and evidence. Because of this, people are continuing to microwave their food - in blissful ignorance - without knowing the effects and danger of doing so.
