I can see police agencies being in favour of this, they could keep tabs on sales as a means of profiling potential Hannibal's, you might find the bulk of your (niche) sales where going through the prison service though, most of those that won't mind being identified by their credit card activity are probably already behind bars (which will be why they won't mind). |

I am now reading [Friend Camp] as Fried Camp every time my eye passes over it. |

You are a very twisted individual [xennie] I hate/love
this. + |

People who are serious about eating high-animal-fat diets will insist that the animals are raised on a natural diet without the use of medications etc. So I would suggest they may complain for this reason, rather than the particular species being farmed and/or harvested from. |
|
| |
Though I have to say ethical vegetarians should be fine with it seeing as it was given with consent and without slaughter or inhumane treatment. |
|
| |
shirley it's more exfatguination? |
|
| |
// without … inhumane treatment // |
|
| |
Oh, but some could be arranged, shirley ? At the very least, a
webcam would ensure that the fatties were suitably humiliated

First rule of fried club... we don't talk about fried club. |

This is fucking disgusting. [+] |
|

I suppose it is disgusting, and I apologise for that.... but you have to ask yourself why is it disgusting? |

Great pathway for disease. |

I just did some research on Lard and it turns out to be pig fat in its various guises. |
|
| |
The mind reels. You did research on lard. YOU DID RESEARCH ON LARD??? oh my God. |
|
| |
Someone's got to do it [bliss], it won't research itself. |

Might you see your way clear to send me a couple hundred gallons? |

Move Over Mud Wrestling!!! There's a new game in town... |

I'm totally for this. I doubt the spread of disease would be a big problem because the fat has to get quite hot to cook anything, and animal fats for cooking (tallow, lard, etc) are cooked at a low temperature (a process called "rendering") which turns the raw fat into fully melted liquid fat and little crispy bits called "cracklins." If anything, I'd be happy to see this kind of recycling destigmatized because it could be a good source of nutrients for someone who needs to gain weight or something. |
|
| |
Regarding diseases, I think the primary concern
would be the ones transmitted by prions. Low
temperature rendering won't eliminate prions. I
assume the high temperatures and pressures need
to destroy prions might have a negative effect on
the quality of the Draculard. I seem to remember
that the highest risk is in consuming brain tissue, so
fat might not be that bad, but people will always
worry. |
|
| |
The whole prion field is a bit spooky and suspect
(this reconfigured protein is supposedly resistant to
almost all protein-destroying agents, and is meant
to have various hereditable strains). |
|
| |
Damn...I just came back from a Wikipedia stroll down prion lane, and all the linked diseases that they had. |
|
| |
Wish I was smarter - I would like to research these things further. But the internet allows me to play at being smart on television (cultural reference, I'll see if I can locate the link). |
|
| |
Something to prion your mind. |
|

//Wish I was smarter - I would like to research these

|
| |
Trust me, you don't need to be immensely smart to
get ahead in the prion field. |

Perfect opportunity for a new TV series: The Prionic Man |
