This came over on a-infos. Fine idea. Unfortunately us Brit carnivores [and Scott] will probably have to pass on this due to cross-species BSE problems. Erik's probably exempt too with all those Belgian dioxins. But all the younger ethical eaters should leap at the chance.

*....and finally...

SchNEWS dutifully takes its vegetable peelings and old tea bags up the
communal allotment compost bins every week, but has often wondered what
would be the greenest way of disposal when one of us pops our clogs.

We think a a Mr.D.Woodman of Kew in Surrey might have found the answer. In
a letter to New Scientist magazine he writes "I am working with the pet
food industry to introduce legislation to enable people, at the end of
their lives, to donate their bodies to pet food manufacturers. The human
flesh thereby recycled will release thousands of tonnes of grain, at
present used in pet foods, for feeding less fortunate children elsewhere in
the world. It is right that the British, with their love of animals, should
set the rest of the world an example. If any of your readers would like to
write to me, I will send them a draft clause for inclusion in their will,
and a 'Pet-meat' donor card to carry in their wallet or handbag."*
