Valley Protein has been fined in the past for their air emissions and odor output. They have a habit of not using the air scrubbers at the E. Earl plant, and are not well like by the surrounding community. They are the major pollutants of air in Eastern Lancaster County, but they want to be the first to cast stones over the environmental and health impact.

Using the same "science, technology and logic", perhaps humans could be rendered as an alternative to expensive funerals, too.

I was thinking along the same lines, here's another way to dispose of a body, and a human falls somewhere between the size of a chicken and a cow so in about 9 months, no evidence. As long as you turn the compost.
Does this really get rid of bones and teeth??? Just wonderin'

Extraneous items such as metal plates, stainless steel rods and pins, gold teeth or mercury based fillings may require more time.

A strategically placed thermometer will insure the compost pile maintains proper decomposition temperature, especially during the winter months.

Don't forget to add water and stir.
