I was pretty excited about SunChips coming out with a compostable bag. Yet, I just read an article describing biodegradable plastics. It seems that the compostable type are made from GM microbes that convert corn into plastic. This is a real big turn-off.

Does anyone know anymore about this?

Here's the reference http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/manufacturing/2008-12-25-biodegradable-plastic_N.htm
