New warnig highlights dangers of microwaving.
AP article in the Austin-American Statesman 10-7-08
We all use the microwave at lunch. To reheat is good, but to cook not so much. You see, in today's newspaper I learned that cooking raw meat in the microwave can leave cold spots that contain bacteria like salmonella, E. coli and listeria. If you eat the bacteria, you can get very, very sick.
At our house, we don't need to worry about these things because we hardly ever eat meat. Those of you who do eat meat, do not use your microwave for cooking raw meat. So folks, if you want to have delicious meat for dinner, either buy some that is already cooked and reheat it, or cook it yourself on a stove, grill, or oven.

I think Marielle answered that in her blog but, it's because if you cook (not reheat) raw meat in the microwave it leaves spots that are uncooked. From those uncooked areas you can get seriously sick! Just like you can from raw meat.

I seriously agree with you, but can you link that to a presidential candidate's plan?
JC, the assignment was to do something about current events and this was in the newspaper. You do not have to do something having to do with politics. Or maybe you were just wondering!
