Why is it that you aren't supposed to put metal objects in a microwave when the whole box inside is made of metal?

Just trying to understand why the inside box isn't made of a non-conductor and why nothing bad happens when microwaves hit the grounded metal box. About all I know from an RF perspective is that metal conducts RF energy and electromatic energy seeks ground.
