I was actually googl-ing on appropriate food container for frozen prawns
packaging when I stumbled upon this article ; Kanser Dari Bekas Makanan.



The white coffin?Ouch!!


It's a shame that I've zero knowledge pertaining this.
Actually I've kinda heard that we are not advised to use
polystyrene but not to the extent that it could be that harmful
I mean, this is pretty serious, isn't it?

I thought the bring-your-own-tupperware campaign is merely for
recycling and green earth purposes, but how wrong was I.

Hmm.. I further googled and found this : Facts on Polystyrene
Well it seems that polystyrene is safe and complies with the Food Regulations Act
but we should avoid using it for hot and oily food as it will promote the
migration of styrene-which some defined as one cancer contributor.
Oh no, I believe that has been its sole purpose ever since.

Anyways, we need to read more to fully understand all this
or much much better, if to be guided and educated accordingly.

So, I am just posting this as a gentle reminder to all of us that
maybe this is the time for a serious action forward

Maybe we could start;

i) bringing our own lunchbox or
ii) be more selective on food packaging


Have a good lunch :)
