Melamine in Milk/Plastics in Microwave

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/01/world/asia/01milk.html?_r=1&hp

A guilty plea. How much can be said about this horrifying situation?

An important note for those who aren't aware of the following . . . Plastics, in any form, do not belong in the microwave. It is a lethal combination that, over time, poisons the consumer. This includes baby bottles, a major no-no. Please pass the word about this to your friends who are parents of young children. No plastic wrap, no food containers, whether hard or soft, no styrofoam take-out boxes, no, no, no. Melamine plates are hard plastic, reusable plates, often with fun designs on them, particularly children's characters. These should never go in the microwave, which is explained on the bottom of the plate.

Please, as adults, one had the freedom to eat as he or she chooses, but when one is in care of a child, the innocent youth's welfare takes priority over convenience. Heat the food on the stovetop, even if it takes a little longer.
