Perfect platter: Trays made from 20 million years old wood!

Asmita PrasadSep 25 2008

OK! OK! I know organic is a rage these days and anyone found dissing the trend is seen as a real traitor to the planet. But even the staunchest tree-huggers will have to agree with me here when I say that these Petrified Wood Cheese Trays are not something anyone should be all that eager to promote. I mean I’m all for going back to nature but not when the hygiene levels of the appetizers are concerned. Besides, eating cheese off a piece of log is kinda primitive - don’t you think?

Since each of the $78-$148 naturally polished trays are carved out of woods that are over 20 million years old, something tells me this venture isn’t as green and as healthy as it projects itself to be.
