Whoever is in charge of marketing corn these days is a fucking genius. There are food riots taking place in parts of the world and we've been convinced that using the shit to fuel our cars is a great idea. Now we've even got corn based "plastic" cups that are biodegradable, which I admit is pretty cool. The fine people behind corn seem to have fully jumped aboard this whole green-washing fad that's swept through our culture. It seems like every company is presenting itself as "eco-friendly"... no matter how ridiculously impossible it might seem...
But the grand prize definitely goes to corn. Today at work I saw a product that boggles the fucking mind. Socks...made out of corn. Touted as, "biodegradable" and made from, "100% renewable resources". Finally I can stop wearing these socks that are destroying America's old-growth cotton forests! Has this whole green revolution really made us this retarded? When canned pancakes can be marketed as "organic" then the answer is one fat nondegradable yes.
