In the spirit of being green, Simmons has switched to using more biodegradable disposable food containers. These corn-based products also include eating utensils. But how about a step forward -- edible food containers and eating utensils? Imagine after enjoying your cup of coffee, you can proceed to eat the cup! Or how about eating that plate after you finished your lunch? Well there are bread bowls out there for soups that were popular for a while some time ago, and while there are people experimenting out there, I am not aware of anything that is commercially available.
I did a quick Google search on "edible utensils" and found a few links on edible spoons and cups that are flour-based. I hope some food scientist would give this idea some serious thought. Now it might not be so polite to eat that crunchy cup at a board meeting, but there must be occasions that people won't mind others biting into their fork.
