Not an educational blog, but an enviornmental question. What to do with all that American corn? It's not always very nutritious, and High Fructose Corn Syrup is not a healthy thing to have in your diet. Today, at the Vancouver Aquarium, I had a drink served in a beverage cup that was made of cornstarch.
Plastic is a petroleum product, right? We are going to run out of oil someday? Why not start subsidizing development of these plastic-looking, plastic-feeling cups that are not made of plastic. Sounds better than subsidizing corn based ethanol fuels. From what little research I have done, ethanol from corn may not be the enviornment saving fuel we had hoped for, as it costs a lot to make. So, make cups.
My two bits.
