What is the rational behind not using plastic foundation

Good question! Your rational seems valid.

Yes it is!

Maybe when the rational and paperwork was being developed,
no natural sized plastic existed at the time.......but I
don't think this would do it, namely stop it usage.

Maybe it wasn't believed to be true food grade for organics
due to warping and known shrinking, cracking with
sunlight........but I don't think this would do it, namely
stop it's usage, for it is all food grade plastic, isn't
it???

Makes one wonder if the powers to be think natural means no
plastic in the beehive vs real clean wax, then why are soft
chemicals/acids  allowed instead of straight zero tolerance
for natural for biological field manipulative management.
