I hope it comes with those little packets of soy sauce and sweet and sour so we can nosh on it in case we really get stuck somewhere and run out of food. Like sailors used to do in the days of sailing ships. All they had were shoe leather, rats and what not to eat when they got to that point! I'm a little hesitant though to be using vast quantities of land and food sources for this type of use. The whole corn for ethanol seemed a rather foolish use, a lot of land and consumables used in powering our cars. Having lived on the farm I can see the boon it is/was for farmers but how much land and resources were taken off line for raising food seemed, shall we say, shortsighted.

National Geographic in the 80's featured Ford's soybean car from the 40's I think it was.

A goat ate a part of the license plate.
