@RCMinor No, he means like when an animal dies (before it’s due to be slaughtered) and its body is rendered and added to the feed for the other animals.Since ‘Mad Cow’ came about, they aren’t supposed to feed cows to cows anymore, but they do feed them to pigs & chickens – whose rendered bodies are fed to cows. Pigs are fed to pigs, chickens to chickens – their waste is also recycled into their feed.The whole cycle makes the idea of soylent green look tame.You can choose to not believe it, that’s up to you.
If you feed fattening calves and pigs in same lot, there is a ratio of how many pigs can be fed from so many calves. (I think it’s about 1:6) It get’s to where when a calf raises its tail, the pigs come running. And a ratio of so many chickens to X number of pigs. Digestive systems are not always efficient, especially when the starting feed is shelled corn.

Pigs eat pigs. I’ve seen them do it. Like Humans, pigs are omnivorous. Hey, I’m Caucasian, does that make me White Meat?

All I know is that this made me laugh. :-) And now back to the harsh realities of life!

Mmmm, prions: the pathogenic particle that cannot be destroyed, even after hours in an autoclave cranked all the way up.

Everyone should see the documentary called Food,Inc. It will open your eyes.
