My husband knew my decision was made. We started out by placing the microwave in the basement just in the event we couldn't actually go without it in the real world. But really is a microwave needed in the "real world"? Nope, it is not. At least that's my own opinion.
As time went days went on soon turned into months, I decided to sell it. Heck why not then I have no turning back. I have already figured out that my stove does all the needs my microwave did. It may just take a little more time and a few more tools, but it does the same job. In face it made me feel like a better cook in the kitchen as well. There were no more heating up frozen veggies in the microwave. Honestly the stove was just as efficient time wise. No more frozen lunches, we didn't eat those anyways because for, 1. their nasty and 2. so unhealthy and unnatural.
It grew on me and I loved living with no microwave. The fact that people thought I was nuts for living without one was even better. It helped my family make that leap into living a more natural life style and healthier eating habits.
The best part of this story is, our four year old daughter recently had asked us what a microwave was while pointing to one. I succeeded!
- They affect your heart.

- Did you know they are band in other countries?!
- Microwaves take nutrients right our of your foods.
- Loss of nutrient in baby formula and breast milk if warmed in a microwave.

Some of my relatives don't have microwaves. We have one, but the rule is you have to turn it on and leave the kitchen, no one stands right in front of it because of the radiation factor. We definitely do try to limit its use although sometimes laziness takes over!
I mostly use ours to nuke some coffee that has gone cold after the pot was shut off, or the next morning (yes sometimes I have day old coffee lol). And popcorn... but thats pretty much it!
