I heard a long (laughable) explanation of the dangers recently on the radio.
The short story is this:
A microwave is bad because it creates movement among molecules, and that is terrible.
Umm.......... I think we call that "heat". Temprature is our method of measuring molecular movement. A regular oven excites molecular movement. If it doesn't, your food is still cold.
If your burrito's molecules are not moving, it's at zero degrees Kelvin.
The guy on the radio was so animated about the extreme dangers of microwaves, and had absolutely no basis in facts. It was as silly as Penn & Teller's decrying of Di-hydrogen-monoxide, except this guy was serious. How he got on the radio, I'll never know.
Burritos are better when their molecules are excited. Toater oven, convection oven, microwave oven, campfire, whatever it takes to create molecular movement.
