Radiation isn't always the same as radioactivity. Microwaves aren't gonna cause you to mutate (they could boil the water in your body tho) or make your food irradiated. But I'm pretty sure the plastic is still plastic, and if all plastic is bad plastic then maybe we shouldn't use microwaves at all.
