I knew not to heat things in plastic and we made the shift to metal water bottles a while back, but now we need to avoid canned food?! Soaking beans is for better planners than me. I suppose I'll have to shell out for the ten dollar sippy cup, because I don't want to poison my daughter with her Playtex one! Yikes! This is truly grim.
