pantryslutWorking on a set of articles for a contract (links soon!), what should I run across but this, in an article on compostable plastic food containers:
"“You need to consider the fertilizer, pesticides [used to grow the crops]. You have to consider the entire lifecycle,” says Susan Selke, professor and associate director of the School of Packaging (yes, there is such a thing) at Michigan State University."

I am now idly contemplating quoting my own mother as a professional source. Alas, not directly relevant in this case.
Also amused as the "yes there is such a thing" aside. You have no idea how many opportunities I've had to say something similar in my life.
