I'm at Whole Foods the other day, they have this array
of recycle bins, sheesh, you need a PhD to toss your garbage.

Anyway, I throw the plastic utensils into the trash, one
of the staff says, "That's biodegradable, toss it in the
compost bin." Polywhatever can be fertilizer? It seems
the 'plastic' is made from potatos.

ok chemists, how do you turn potatos into a moldable material?
