Is your lunchbox is Eco Friendly or Colorful Toxic?

Lunch Break!!! Its not just an hour time period. It is the time where we can feed our tired stomach after continuous work or study. It gives stamina for the next half session up for evening. So it is the important time span we have to consider for healthy food diet. People can focus on the food diet chart, but forget to think about the container which holds that valuable food.

Is your lunch box is Eco Friendly or it is just a colorful toxic? Ask this question at least once before packing your lunch.

I bet in a modern world, people prefer to use Tupperware lunch boxes. Tupperware has been just a brand name but it is made up of "Plastic". I don't know the reason why people prefer, maybe it is easily washable or we can cook it in Microwave oven too.

What ever the reason, but usage of plastic containers for eatable things are not recommended. School kids, Teenagers and Senior citizens all can use mostly plastic containers for lunch box. Even for daily usage People can use plastic containers for storing the vegetables, cut fruits and eatable food items and keep it inside the refrigerator.

Some plastic containers downside has some symbols to indicate micro oven free, maximum temperature capacity, etc., Even though technology says it is freezing or oven free, the plastic nature can melt and micro molecules may react to the food inside. It will slowly cause a side effect in the long run. 

Studies show that plastics can cause fertility and reproductive problems, Obesity and Sickness. 

Below picture examines the symbols which used in most of the plastic containers.
