2. They use waste from turkey plants.

Edited on Thu Oct-26-06 08:15 PM by suziedemocrat

They don't raise animals just to turn them into oil. (Someone was confused about that on another thread about this a few months back.) And this keeps the "waste" from being turned into feed and given to other animals, sometimes of the same species and making them cannibals - which is horrible, but it is routinely done today and it is why they have to pay for the turkey "waste". This practice has been out-lawed in the EU because of Mad Cow Disease, which is why these plants would be more profitable in Europe - no need to pay for waste since in Europe it can't be used as feed.

Thanks for the Vote!!!
