I did a quick search and it looks like those infamous science deniers at Harvard Medical and Johns Hopkins believe styrofoam is safe even when microwaved. The problem with styrofoam seems to be one of trash collection. If it was the public menace these Dems say, why is it still sold in office supply stores and elsewhere for food uses?

Could you post a link? I'd like to forward it to my congressman. He's a tea partier who defeated a 14 term 'RAT in a district none of the RNC types thought was winnable by any Republican.

so what is your point? You haven’t been around here long enough to understand the point apparently.

My point was that you interjected a snarky comment suggesting that idiots would be posting snarky comments.

Just to be clear: My comment was directed toward the would-be ‘thread police’ that normally come on and start posting links and commenting about ‘it’s been posted before’ etc. and not toward the poster.

Just to be clear, you posted BEFORE any links were posted. Besides, what is wrong with providing a link to an earlier post of the story?

this is how it works, ceramic needs to be cleaned using phosphates so we can’t use that. Paper kills trees, so we can’t use that.. Styrofoam (if 300 lbs eaten twice a day for 75 years) causes cancer.. Why don’t they just do all of us a favor and use their hands or better yet just stop eating..

You never answered my question. Why do you consider a link to an earlier thread to be 'snarky'?

Your post condeming 'thread police' when there are none on the thread makes you look like a the 'thread snarky policeman'.
