In cuisine, when discussing fruit as food, the term usually refers to just those plant fruits that are sweet and fleshy, examples of which include plum, apple and orange. - DWatch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The "just one word" reference will be lost on most Digg users that have never seen or heard of the movie.
- irobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2But wouldn't it take more petroleum energy to grow and process the fructose? Unless we're talking about sustainably grown fructose sources (I'm assuming it comes from processed corn?).

- Kakgak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What about plastic from hemp? Isn't that even biodegradable?

- Odweaver, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Yea, fun word, every time someone around me says fructose, i just have to have a party for some reason. Its like a party word or something.
- BevansDesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Won't happen until every ounce of oil in the world is gone. But I'm glad there will be an alternative. Plastic is good.
Renewable resources? Please. Next you'll tell me you can make paper out of hemp, and save the rainforests. Oh wait...you can. - stara, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0As cheap as products are that are made from fructose, maybe smarter and fairer productions of the crop can be utilized. I'm not saying "lets make a 12oz can of soda cost $3.50" just that the use of fructose may be more economically sound.
