Compostable plastic

Those insanely noisy bags of Sun Chips claim to be compostable, as do the plastic cups from Evos.  Well, having just relocated a compost pile, albeit one that had been in the crappy compost pin sold by the town of Chapel Hill, I can tell you this:  they don't compost quickly at all.  I'd like to know what their half life is.

However, I can tell you that the so-called "air-baked chicken strips" from Evos are, in fact, delicious. One has to wonder what kind of air they are baked in.  If it is, for example, infused with saturated fat.
