No convoys of trucks laden with human corpses to be made into Soylent Green .. or food fertilizer That is vegan propaganda at its worst, IMO . If vegans are worried about their food being grown in animal remains, it's already being done .. not just manure, but also composted livestock (intentional) and decomposed wildlife (accidental) that are hacked and chopped to bits by machinery during tillage, planting and harvesting processes. But to suggest human remains will be used in commercial agriculture is science fiction at best, and scare-mongering at worst.



Thank you, Doreen. People see the word "compost" & immediately think the human remains are going in the garden. It was an unfortunate word choice. I'm still trying to convince my husband that so-called composting of bodies is a good thing.
