<p>So, after months of reading about the dangers of <a href="http://www.thegreenguide.com/doc/114/bpa">Bisphenol-A</a> in <a href="http://daddytypes.com/2007/02/28/about_that_bottle_of_death_you_just_put_in_the_kids_mouth_again.php">baby bottles</a> I finally decided to toss the plastic baby bottles and buy some glass ones.&#0160; Apparently I&#39;m not the only one, because those suckers are nearly impossible to find nowadays.&#0160; Great!&#0160; The message is getting out.&#0160; I imagine sanitation workers scratching their heads, trying to figure out why all of a sudden the landfills are overflowing with Avent and Dr. Brown&#39;s bottles.&#0160; </p>

<p>My son is about to start solids, so I was at the supermarket picking up some commercially-prepared baby food.&#0160; I&#39;ve always bought the ones in glass jars (maybe because of nostalgia, I don&#39;t know), but out of curiosity I took a look at the <a href="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/51JA88QPA7L._AA280_.jpg">Gerber first foods</a> in the square plastic containers.&#0160; Guess what?&#0160; They&#39;re packaged in <a href="http://mom-101.blogspot.com/2007/09/plastic-bubble-has-burst-or-why-7-is.html">#7 plastic</a>.</p>

<p>I&#39;m starting to think manufacturers of baby products are out to drive me crazy.&#0160; Why take the risk?&#0160; Why not go for the safest materials and ingredients?&#0160; Whyyyyy?</p>
