It took them long enough...

Wow - that is pathetic.
It was interesting while I was pregnant with Elliot - I couldn't drink out of plastic water bottles. I could taste the chemicals in the water - even if the water was poured into a glass. It wasn't until he was about a year old that my "super taste receptors" went away. But I still won't drink out of them when given any other option. I prefer even straight tap water first and the tap water in Sac is terrible.
Now we don't use any products that have been lined with BPA except for canned tomatoes (because it's hard to organic roma tomatoes around here year round.) I'm worried about the acidic tomatoes with the BPA, but I figure if that's our only source, it's probably not a huge deal.
