I have read about these take-out products. They are made from renewable sources like sugar cane, corn and soy. I have had packing peanuts that were made of soy and they decomposed in my worm bin easily.
I would definitely opt for these type of products and think they are on the right track.
I don't know how long they (bowls or cups) would take to decompose but they are a much better option than styrofoam which can hang around for over 500 years.
I guess your son will need to get a bit older to understand the time frame. As I recall, with my 4 year olds, if it wasn't happening in the next 5 minutes, they didn't care much about it.
