The Microwave Waves Good Bye!
About a year ago, I said good bye to my microwave and put it into storage in the garage. Why? I simply started feeling strange using it and I wasn’t sure if the feeling was just my mind playing tricks on me. I can’t totally describe the feeling I was getting. It wasn’t a definite dizziness or pain. It was only a sensation of something not being right.
We’ve heard of people with pace makers, for their heart, being effected by microwaves but what about the average Joe?
Most of the websites I’ve come across talk about how microwaving destroys nutrients in food. Of course, all cooking destroys some nutrients, but is the microwave worse?
The most well rounded article I came across was this one: http://www.willthomasonline.net/willthomasonline/Nuked_By_Your_Microwave.html
What an eye opener!
So, how was a year without a microwave? It was no problem or hassle at all. It was only my husband who didn’t want it to go in the first place. He’d miss being able to warm up a meal or cup of tea quickly, but honestly he never complained. I would only miss making popcorn from time to time.
Will we bring it back into the kitchen? I doubt it. These days, I feel odd enough without it.
