plastic and smokers

[smittenbyu]

N and I pack our lunches everyday in plastic Tupperware. We heat up our food in the microwave at work before consuming lunch. One day when N was about to do that at his office pantry microwave one of his colleagues came running across the room saying, "don't do that!" She stopped him from putting the Tupperware into the microwave, showed that the office pantry also has ceramic plates in which he can heat up food. "Don't you know that heating up food in plastic causes some leakage of toxic materials that are cancerous?!" Husband was just a bit shocked at the sudden outrage in an otherwise quiet colleague and went along with her advice.

Later on in the afternoon when he stepped out of the building for something he sees the same colleague out with others smoking! He wanted to run and say, "stop! don't do that! Don't you know smoking causes cancer?!" But refrained and went on to whatever he was going to do!

One is still under investigation on the claims and the other is proven fact. Go figure!

one of my closest pals is a chain smoker complete with the smoker's cough and nicotine-stained lips.

once i conceived and stop drinking he advised me to give it up entirely...making it sound like am a regular boozer although am as nicely socially drunk as i could be...

great advice from a guy who can stand to be a few mins late for a movie just to take a few puffs!

orwell comes to mind..all equal but some are more equal than others...
