  • Maybe we should go back to eating those TV dinners with the aluminum tray instead of microwaving frozen meals in plastic containers.

    • Unfortunately, not everyone has an oven to heat things in, whereas microwaves can be easier and cheaper to come by. Not to mention the time convenience of using a microwave. But I agree it would be a healthier option.
