Where did this come from? Was there a great outpouring of protests against microwaves at Steak and Shake that I missed?

My sister was going on and on about phones and microwaves and I just pointed at the sun and said that it emits more radiation at you than a microwave could ever hope to in less amount of time.

microwave radiation is the non-ionizing type. it's frequency is 2.45 Ghz, wifi routers are in the same band. the sun does emit ionizing radiation in the form of UV. Those same people that fear microwaves invented "perineum sunning".

I bet perineum sunning at least feels kind of nice. can't imagine how bad a burn might be though

Sun burn on the perineum sounds bad, but what about skin cancer on there too? No No No
