From corn on the cob to a plastic blob

Sitting on Lih-Shend Turng�s desk are a non-descript, whitish-gray plastic plate and bowl set. Almost artistically opaque, foamy swirls curl around the bowl�s curves. Upon closer examination, this plasticware has heft and rigidity that could definitely stand up to Aunt Linda�s baked beans.

Unlike traditional picnic paraphernalia, this particular plateware is made from plants.
