New Food-Growth Product a Bit Hairy 243
MeatBag PussRocket writes "An article from Marketplace.org reports, 'A Florida company has developed an all-natural product that it says could revolutionize how food is grown in the US. It's called Smart Grow, but it might be a tough sell. It's inexpensive. It eliminates the need for pesticides, so it's environmentally friendly, but it's human hair. Plant pathologists at the University of Florida have found the mats eliminate weeds better than leading herbicides and can also make plants grow up to 30 percent larger.'"

A summer of hot sun beating down on it would surely break it down.*
* - Writing as someone who thought, "Hey, if using plastic sheeting on the ground for a month to kill weed seeds works, think how well it will work if I leave it on the ground for three months!" Hot sun turns plastic nice and brittle and, ultimately, into little bits of plastic blown all over the place.

When i say new generation i'm talking about the kids in school right now.
my wife is a teacher - it is not uncommon for her to overhear racist remarks coming from her kids - remarks which would make my hair currle.. but to them they have zero clue what they are saying.
and when you try to explain it to them - all you get is blank stares.. it's really creepy how far gone this world is getting.

Soy Sauce is frequently made from human hair. In fact, you've probably eaten some yourself. When you buy Soy sauce make sure you check the ingredients. And yes, I am being 100% serious.
