So, okay. Okay, then.
Then, we'll legislate this industry to squeeze out the possibility of any smaller entrepreneurs getting into it, even though the franchise's business model was designed specifically with small amounts of investment capital in mind. Let's set the minimum required investment to, oh, I don't know. Let's say USD$500,000? is that enough? Howe about an even million? That should prevent those dirty peons from investing and restrict these business opportunities to people who are already well-off, if not downright filthy rich, right?
How's that sitting with you?
The bamboo products after processing are as about porous as glass. 100% food safe.

Calm down, I didn't propose anything like this. I also won't stop anyone from investing in it or buying those products.
100% food safe.
Although I'm usually rather the opposite of a germaphobe, it just grosses me out eating from what anyone could have had in their mouths.
I don't know which specific resin they use, but like almost all two-part resins, it's food safe after curing. You can't even feel the fibers underneath it. I have a nice vase made from resin and mesquite wood. I can see the grain in the wood parts, but it's glass smooth to the touch and it's not at all porous.
I rarely eat Asian, so I reuse the same knife, fork and spoon as countless customers before me. I also heard that it's common in some Asian countries to carry ones own chopsticks, but don't know where or how usual it is.
I'm ok with downcycling it to paneling or insulation, but recycling porous eating utensils grosses me off.
Considering most of the worlds energy needs are still fulfilled by burning stuff, one might use it as renewable fuel.
It sure is, it won't save the planet, but make a few hipsters feel better.
