Why is it bad for your health to cook food in a mircowave?
I heard it's better for your health to bake, boil, and steam your food compared to microwaving it.

I'm looking forward to hearing the answer about this. My understanding is that a microwave oven cooks food by exciting the molecules of the food with the use of microwave energy. The end result is still the food itself, so I don't see how it could be bad for your health. The only exception might be if you are cooking your food on something that is not "microwave safe." In that scenario, it might be possible that the microwave energy causes that plate or bowl to break down, and that could introduce toxic chemicals into your food
