Won't somebody please think of the beer?!?

It does my little heart good to know that some things I write letters/e-mails/blogs about are actually important... BPA was recently declared toxic by the government of Canada! Eat that, BPA website!

Unfortunately, we actually ARE still eating it, and drinking it too. It's going to take a while to actually ban BPA from production, but who wants to have to label their product toxic? Bit of an advertising conundrum, I'd say! (Check out the week-old story below... damn, I'm terrible at keeping up with this!)

Woooooo hoo! Now, let's start getting it out of our canned goods... and beer! BPA is readily soluble in alcohol, which means it's a floatin' around in your brewski (personally I prefer bottled or draught anyway... but when all else fails, cans do the trick). Mmm, now I want some Keith's.

Come on, BPA, why can't you be more like other chemicals?
