Breast Cancer Cuisine?

    I got a Lean Cuisine the other day and was shocked to see what I found. The box for the instant dinner was pink, advertising Lean Cuisine's campaign against breast cancer. Lean Cuisine has been partnering with Susan G. Komen for several years now. They support the cause by selling adorable pink totes and donating the funds to breast cancer research. 

However I find it interesting that a product that has been suspected to be a common cause of breast cancer is supposedly supporting it by promoting their brand. I am shocked that Susan G. Komen for the cure is not aware of these dangers. The danger of Lean Cuisine and all TV dinners is that they require you to heat the meal in a plastic container. The combination of fat, high heat and plastics releases dioxins into the food. These dioxins ultimately reach the cells in our bodies. Dioxins are carcinogens that are highly toxic to the cells of the human body. When these dioxins reach the cells the person's risk of getting breast cancer raise drastically. 

Not only is it unhealthy to heat up anything in a plastic container, it is especially unhealthy to attempt to eat a Lean Cuisine regardless of what you heated it up in. Nestle Prepared Foods Co. recalled 900,000 lbs of Lean Cuisine meals after several people reported finding small chunks of blue plastic in their food.
