Looks like concern with bisphenol A is heating up in the mainstream media. This video about stories in the Dallas Morning News tomorrow - 5/20/08 - about how to ID what's got BPA in it. Thing to remember, though, is that some manufacturers of cans and plastic bottles -- Nalgene's Everyday line as an example -- have already got the BPA's out of them.

I'd think a big concern would be what is the impact of this BPA scare on recycling -- our trust of recycled plastics, the viability of plastics recycling in the face of this, since if used in food containers we could just be reexposing ourselves to BPA's over and over. Plastics!
