Do you use plastic tupperware and containers?

I'm going through the converting phase. I used plastic often as my storage containers. Someone bought me a set that was glass and I fell in love with them The guys in the house microwave in the plastic containers and end up destroying them. I found that Tupperware makes a decent brand.
I have been hearing this and the other day I read an article about not leaving water bottles in the car. It can be dangerous to your health. I have three children so we use some plastic in the home, but when I microwave I use glass dishes.
I have heard this too. I sold Tupperware for many years and some of their products are not meant for the microwave. I have seen how the plastic can melt and I'm sure it gets into our food. I haven't made the switch to glass other than when actually microwaving. I still use the Tupperware for storage. Maybe when I win the lottery!
I still use plastic Tupperware for storing items in the fridge, but I always transfer it to a glass dish before microwaving. Sometimes, when I am feeling extra lazy I just wrap the 13 inch by 9 inch pan and place it in the fridge, after we are done eating. 
Microwaves are supposed to cause carcinogens in the food you cook in them. There are a lot of studies out on how microwaves are bad or not bad for our health but who knows which ones to believe. I use y microwave for TV dinners and just to heat food up. I never use it to actually cook a meal and prefer the old fashioned way also.I use plastic to store food in the fridge, but I do also use glass. Once my microwave broke, I never bothered to replace it. I read that microwave foods are not good for you. My foods are slow cooked and reheated the old fashion way.
