We can sell Hemp to you for less than your current supplier, Communist China, because we don't have as far to ship it. Most of us use Microsoft products because they are not Communist, and we expect you to take preference for our Hemp for the same reason. We are not Communists, we are socially responsible democrats, a new concept for the U.S.A., and probably a welcome one, now that you have government bail-outs keeping things going - a sort of socially responsible democratic move for a previously totally Capitalistic system, so now that we don't look so bad, with our "Medicare' and all, buy out product, make plastic from it, you'll like it!

It is important to consider the effects that the increase of demand on sugar would have on the environment through cultivation. There will be 2 instant reactions from South America: those making money from sugar cane cultivation will rejoice, and the others will think of their forests being devastated, causing desertification in many areas. It is, however, probably, other coma, all in all, much better than the use of petroleum. I'm just saying there are maybe other even better options. Food industry will definitely complain, but my say is they will have to suck it up...

However, if it allows us to carry on using plastics as we do, it may make things worse. We also need to be looking for ways to make recyclable or biodegradable plastics so that they don't go to landfill or end up floating around in the oceans.
