There seems to be a lot of conflicting information about the toxicity of plastics for food storage and cooking, but here are two good summaries of the concerns from a reliable source:
http://www.jhsph.edu/publichealthnew..._plastics.html (plastic and heating, not good) and http://www.jhsph.edu/publichealthnew...n_dioxins.html (plastic and cold storage, probably ok).
I was inclined to pooh-pooh the concern about cooking and plastic, but the Johns Hopkins piece was so very carefully worded that I'm working on breaking myself of the habit of using plastic wrap and plastic storage containers in the microwave.
