No Microwave, No Problem! Why We Ditched Our Microwave

No Microwave? No Problem!

Why we ditched our microwave. And it isn't why you think!

Just like every other North American family, we had a microwave. Yes, I said HAD. 
A couple years back ours screwed the pooch, and we decided not to purchase another.

Why?

Well, a few things really.

The first being; we simply did not want to spend the money to buy another one. Secondly, both my husband and I have read about microwaved food depleting most if not all of your food's nutrients. And the many articles about the negative and harmful radiation they may emit.
Of course, there is always going to be conflicting information, sure, but we choose to find the most nutrient rich way to eat food ... {it's raw by the way, steamed a close second}
Even if they don't emit harmful radiation - why add to the already growing amounts of microwaves, radiation and other shit in your home that, under any other non-technological circumstances, would not be there?
Thirdly -  I HATE the taste of nuked food - gross.


And, since beginning our Moms For Real Food Initiative, we've become, purists.

Questions I get when I tell people I don't have a microwave.
