Thanks so much for referring readers to my blog! Also, thank you for joining the struggle against BPA and the chemical industry. I just finished reading Slow Death by Rubber Duck and it had a profound effect on me. Do read it!

Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but Eden may not be as BPA as you or they believe. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/22/AR2010022204830.html?hpid=topnews

I’ve heard of using jarred Bionaturae tomato products, but probably there is some BPA in the lid. Pomi tomatoes use juice box/soy milk packaging. I’m wondering if the acidity of the tomatoes could be neutralizing to minimize the BPA that is leached from the packaging and then consumers could make it acidic again with citric acid or something. There is an answer somewhere, I just don’t know if it’s known or available yet.

Also, I make beans in large batches and freeze. They thaw easily.

Really good post. I think you articulated so well that dilemma of what’s right and healthy versus convenient (hearts of palm is a hard one to give up…maybe Eden can start to can them). Hearing that cancer specialists do not allow their families canned goods also makes things very clear.

Love this post–I did something on Vitamin G recently too on BPA; will try to find the link and send your way. Anyway, didn’t know that Eden was BPA free. SO good to know. xo
