Parents have long chastised children with the threat of withholding dessert unless the dinner plate is licked clean.
Now, however, it seems they will have to go one further and eat the crockery too before they can tuck into pudding - as a British company have launched a range of edible spoons, cups, plates and bowls. The tableware is made from wheat bran, similar to breakfast bran flakes, and is designed to hold hot or cold food.
It is, of course, the brainshild of an 'eco-company':
The plates are likely to cost more than the average picnic lunch, however, with a pack of ten large bran plates costing £7.99.
Stroodles has been making eco-straws made from pasta since 2019 and is now expanding its range to cover the full dining experience.
Sounds familiar, and I can't think wh...
We're going backwards. So why is this considered 'progressive'?
I so enjoy all the 'unintended' consequences of the (uninformed, indoctrinated, hypocritical and, let's be honest predominantly nothing more than NIMBY) eco-loon cultists.
ReplyDeleteRemember the forced removal of all that 'foam' take-away packaging? That was replaced by eco-enviro-makes-one-our-friends-a-load-of-dosh friendly sisal packaging. That ... caused the utter destruction of the majority of the unique and irreplaceable Madagascan rain forest, and the extinction of countless species.
Or the successful campaign (by the super rich we-don't-like-that-plebs-can-access-wilderness-areas-and-annoy-us-when-we're-eating-our-tofu-and-arugala-salads Sierra Club) to stop burning of overgrown Californian forests, and hunting of large deer populations. Effect? All the diverse fauna and flora that relied on the rare open pastures created by the burning, wiped out. And all those pretty bambis grew so numerous that there wasn't sufficient food and they all starved to death.
But Hey, at least they care, right?
I wait with baited breath for the unintended consequence of eating massive amounts of insoluble fibre ...

Coming next to a store near you! Gluten-free versions which no sane person would want to eat either.
ReplyDeleteSome dimwits will clog up their dishwashers with them while the rest of us laugh on.
The cutlery that we use was bought as a wedding present for us 54 years ago and is in daily use. It looks good for at least another 54.In what universe would replacing it by edible cutlery save the planet from climate change ?
ReplyDeleteWe had the goulash in a big bread roll in Poland. Very good.
ReplyDeleteBut I do not see much advantage in having to use energy to make a big bread roll every time you want to eat compared to scraping some (organic) clay out of the ground, using energy once to make a bit of pottery that will last thousands of years with a little care and can be recycled as eco-friendly grit any time you like.
