Bad Wrap

Most of you know that wrapping your child's (and your) food in plastic wrap, bags and bowls exposes them to a PVC plasticisers and BPA that disrupt the endrocrine system (a complex network of glands including ovaries, testes, thyroid, adrenals and intestines) and chromosomal DNA (the basic structure of life). In additioin to the above mentioned disruption plastics and plastic wraps contain carcinogenics (dethylhexyl)adepate (DEHA).

With a large subset of children with autism having a compromised immune system and gastrointestinal issues this topic should be an area of concern for our loved ones on the spectrum (and each one of us). So what to we do? How do we store our left overs? What about school lunches?
