Tipping Point Reached On BPA

TreeHugger: "It will help if a positive ending can be found from this miserable tale that had dragged on far too long. There may well be one. 

Somewhere, I bet, a coating formulator has a patented process for coating can interiors with a BPA-residue free layer; and, they are going to get lots of new contracts and do very well indeed - as soon as FDA approves of the coating for food contact. (Their suppliers in the chemical industry will benefit, as well.) Here's hoping the new FDA Administrator gets some hustle on so we can cover the happy ending.

In the meantime, wish the metal coating and can fabricating industry well, as they may have to do some serious re-tooling and formulating during a time when capital for such as that is very scarce."
