How can you be so compassionateness, cruel and selfish? It harms your health. Why do you think you can't eat it raw when you can definitely eat vegetables raw.

(i loves me some ham every now and again). There's a tyson plant about 45 minutes from my school. Even when we don't look at their appallingly dangerous working conditions (they forced out the union a couple years ago), there's still the huge environmental impact of the feedlot attached to the plant. (and believe me, it stinks!) As awesome as it is that the big companies are starting to think about biodiesel, that doesn't make up for what they're doing in the other parts of the business. - Mary Sun, 12 Aug 2007 01:53:20 +0100 http://ecogeek.org/biofuels/864#comment-4270 If anyone watches Boston Legal, there's an episode about processing human fat taken during liposuction into bio-fuel. Unfortunately it is illegal to buy/sell human body parts of any kind. That would certainly be some Soylent Green gasoline :P - Culprititus Fri, 10 Aug 2007 14:28:38 +0100 http://ecogeek.org/biofuels/864#comment-4238 It's a bit Soylent Green, dontcha think? - Tracy Thu, 09 Aug 2007 21:45:42 +0100 http://ecogeek.org/biofuels/864#comment-4228 I thought this was creepy the first time I heard of it as well. But, apparently one advantage is you don't need to build a new plant to process it into synthetic diesel. Any existing oil refinery can do the job! - Alison Thu, 09 Aug 2007 20:37:37 +0100
