You can make a form of biodegradable plastic from soybeans. It won't be long until the greenies start advocating that.

Anyone else old enough to remember a brief era in the mid-1970s when plastic packing peanuts were being phased out in favor of popcorn?

I kid you not. Things were shipped packed in popcorn. That fad lasted just a few months until warehouses discovered that the change attracted rodents big time.

Henry Ford was experimenting with soy based plastics back in the 1930’s.
