They should make food containers and beverage holders from compressed broccoli
by Bob Walsh
In a brave and far-sighted move the city government of Berkeley, CA. has decided that people who consume beverages in restaurants in their fair city must pay 25 cents each for the privilege or carry around their own drinking cups with them. (I am getting flashbacks of Renaissance Faires with a bunch of strange people in costume and pewter or wooden mugs lashed to their clothing for their issue of grog, meade or whatever.) This will kick in in 2020.
It also requires that take-out food containers be compostable by 2020.
I think they should make food containers and beverage holders from compressed broccoli. But that's just me. That way anybody who actually is stupid enough to go along with this program will be easily identifiable by the fact that they will smell like the dumpster behind a vegan restaurant.

So then. If we cut down redwood trees to make compostable take out containers...would that now be legal? (It's getting so hard to keep up with these ever evolving and more progressive new "save the planet from global warming" ordinances).
