Pretty soon, California is going to have a law that will require a sticker in every building reading "The air in this building is known to the State of California to have the ability to eventually kill you."

Both solid and foam polystyrene foodservice products have been tested extensively and deemed safe for consumer use by reputable government agencies. Since the 1990s, the polystyrene industry has conducted tests to measure the migration of styrene from styrenic plastics to food; the results have shown that these very low styrene levels pose no health concern. Specifically, the tests showed that the estimated daily exposure to styrene from polystyrene food-contact articles was 10,000 times safer than it needed to be. Based on these tests, the FDA has deemed polystyrene foodservice products to be fit for consumer use.

For more information regarding the safety of styrene products, please refer to the Styrene Information and Research Center Website at http://www.styrene.org/.

It's all too confusing!

I just try to stay away from anything that just isn't right, but there isn't much of that sorts!
