Why are vehicles being eaten NOW?

The quest for being “Green” correctness started also in 1990’s.

OEM’s started by replacing the durable components that really did not need to last as long as they did, with generally untested improvements in material composition and with the use of “natural” materials to substitute for the petroleum in plastics.

OEM’s also started replacing where possible any durable metal parts with limited lifespan plastic components.

SOYhas been utilized in just about anything from wiring harness covers, to wire insulation, to seat cushion foam and interior carpeting and trim.

Cars just started to taste way too good !

But mind you rodents (or Mother Nature, if you must) are not that stupid. Indeed they are far more evolved and “smart” than humans give them credit for!

What one mouse or pack rat discovers is not kept as top secret for that individual rodent, or the immediate clan or family. That knowledge is quickly “shared” with other rodents and becomes the knowledge of these creatures all over the world! How that happens or how that is even possible is beyond the scope of this article, but there is definite proof that such animal knowledge “sharing” exists.

If one or two mice eat common automotive coolant which is sweet and tasty to them and die shortly because of it, even if there are hundreds more starving mice near-by, they will no longer lick it. Somehow they quickly learn that it is a deadly poison.

But if the stuff is not only tasty but also very nutritious, mice living hundreds of miles away will somehow gain this knowledge, and put the wiring harness or seat foam made with soy on their snack list.
