The average person is not in danger from a microwave oven in his kitchen.

I think because Americans are always on the go and never have a chance to have a nice family meal, so they are forced to eat fast food (another thing bad for us) or cook up some unhealthy item in the microwave, ready in 2 minutes to bring to the car. (I have nothing against Americans and using their microwaves- I am an American that uses microwaves, but not 24/7!) :)

Because using a microwave is not bad for your health. Standing in front of the microwave while is in use might be a tiny little bit harmful, but that's why you read the instructions and keep yourself out of the way until the food is ready.

Since when are microwaves dangerous to your health? Yeah, maybe if you run it 20 hours a day and stand right in front of it.
There is a laundry list of things out there killing me, but I don't consider my microwave an item on that list.

Convenience., But if you exercise proper care when cooking or reheating, you should be fine. The thing is not to cook everything there, only what's needed. And ALWAYS cover open containers. Is not like the magnetron element shoots out uncontrollable radioactive rays...

Radiation remittance is too low to adversely affect out health. So it's still in use.

It's only bad if you're standing with your nose pushed right up to the door. If you're worried it's leaking, there's a gadget you could buy to test it.
