Realistically you feed the rich to pigs and chickens and then eat the pigs and chickens. Otherwise yes, youโ€™re just eating tainted meat.

The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.

Youโ€™ll feed a lot more people eating meat than composting it.

Highest and best use, guys.

Composting doesnโ€™t get rid of prions or heavy metals unfortunately.

Unfortunately they do. Plans have been shown to take up prions associated with Chronic Wasting Disease and transmit them to mice.

I have way too much microplastics to be good for environment. Plants would just die form all the heavy metals too

Mortician here! This is, luckily not true. Recomposition is already legal in several states and theyโ€™ve had massive success with it. The national and state forests that received the recomposted remains are thriving. The only downside (for some people) is that the person who passed cannot be embalmed, and in most states, that means itโ€™s illegal to have an open casket visitation to the public. Most states have laws that family can see their loved one without embalming if itโ€™s been less than 48 hours after death, but they need liability waivers. The public, however, cannot be a part of an open casket funeral, unless the deceased has been embalmed and sterilized. Closed caskets are fine at any stage. They make hermetically sealing ones that lock in the decomposition smell and keep people safe.

We have a break room, and some people pack food from home? Morbid fact; if a decedent who has excess weight, gets cremated; the whole building smells like bacon. I remember walking in one day, (at my first job that had a crematory retort inside) and was so excited thinking our boss had bought us breakfastโ€ฆ nopeโ€ฆ I gave up bacon for over 2 years.
