Plastic from Corn Works for Wal-Mart

From the Illinois Farm Bureau - Wal-Mart Notes Clear Advantage to Corn-Based Plastic
Customers seeking corn in Wal-Mart’s produce section soon may find a cornucopia of the stuff in a new form. But they won’t know it. Beginning this month, Wal-Mart and its Sam’s Club division are joining with Cargill’s NatureWorks LLC to offer packaging produced from cornstarch-based PLA (polylactide) plastic.
Remember, don't eat the packaging, eat what's in it.
