Not sure if Barbara Sims' condemnation of Bisphenol A plastic food containers is hysterical overreaction or Nickels-generated propaganda, but (it is) not solid journalism.

Sims quotes a two-year-old preliminary report that has been found to be an over-reaction, even by the Canadian government, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has found no reason for concern.

Like the boy who cried wolf, the "green" editor who simply reprints news releases from dubious sources will stop being taken seriously.
