Do you have any suggestions? Many thanks, Tamara Dear Tania,

Are you thinking of Melamine or Acrylic? My personal choice has been to reduce all my plastic use as much as possible all around. My concern is they will find out more about other plastics down the line. If the plastic is made with a petroleum based product, I think it's worth minimizing exposure. In the US it's almost impossible to avoid them all together, so I minimize & avoid where I can. The plastics that are in the news at the moment are BPA’s.

I don't know what exactly they call it, I'm talking about the kitchenware set, the one with plates, dishes, trays, etc. What do you say about that? Ok, what about the hard type of plastic?
