[QUOTE="Highland Mule, post: 6516012, member: 33090"] I'm not wholly invested in agriculture - it's actually a very small aspect to my overall family business - less than 5% at last accounting period. Ironically, my agri customer base actually goes up with bad farming press stories, as most of our produce is direct sales and customers avoid the mass suppliers in favour of those they can visit, but I still want the best for the industry as a whole. Unless you're meaning 'plastic' to be the opposite of elastic, rheologically, then you couldn't be more wrong. If you are, then the same could be said about whipped cream and a host of other foodstuffs and your statement should be considered highly disingenuous. The products we now know as margarine are far removed from the original oleomargarine derived from beef tallow and most (all?) now come from vegetable oils. Plastics such as polyethylene are derived mostly from fossil fuels. I'm pretty certain that no butter substitute that is made from fossil fuel oils, aside from that put into the tractors and harvesters etc. [/QUOTE]
