 | | Rather, all vendors at the fair are responsible for hauling out in buckets their own "animal or vegetable by-product" and dumping it into one of 30 receptacles, ranging in capacity from 55 to 300 gallons, parked in 20 different spots around the grounds. |
 | | Most of the fat from the fair turns into yellow grease, which Van Hoven says is "a high-energy fat that we blend with other, lower-energy fats that become an animal/vegetable blend." This blend is sold to owners of livestock, who mix it in as a small proportion, maybe 2 percent, tops, of their feed rations. |
 | | In fact the whole process makes for a tidy circle: The remnants of food-booth animal grease are used as feed supplement for other animals doomed for the grill, the griddle, or the fryer--fat perhaps roasted or fried off their own parents. |
