Laptop Lunchbox,
August 6, 2009

"I bought a laptop lunch from Real Green Goods last year for my niece. It was her first year going to school and I wanted her to have the safest lunch box possible, but also the most practical. The plastic used in the laptop lunch by Obentec is a #5 which is considered the “food-safe” plastic and has no known leaching properties or harmful carcinogenic chemicals added. Studies show that other plastics like 3, 6 and 7 are harmful to our health, becoming more associated with cancer developments, not something I would personal want my niece to be subject to. Yes, the safest food containers available are glass or stainless steel, but these seem to be impractical for a 5 year old. Real Green Goods, my local green store and also on the web, carries the laptop lunch not only because of these facts, but also, as others have mentioned here, because the company is socially responsible. The two mothers who developed this product had the full intention to create the healthiest and safest lunch box for their own children. Rather than a large, multi-national, corporation who are focused on profits, these ladies are focused on the health of our children. This is just as important to me as is the product safety standards, if not more. I would highly recommend a laptop lunch box for anyone concerned about they safety of plastics. This is the safest on the market!"
