First we have to figure out who "they" are. "They" keep telling us to do and
don't do things and we can't find them to ask our questions directly.
This recommendation (not composting meat) comes from those who write about
backyard composting. The rationale (as far as I can figure, since I haven't
found "them" yet) is because, in a small backyard compost bin, the meat will
smell like rotten meat and may offend close neighbors. It will also attract
rodents, flies and other scavengers. This amy be deemed an "unhealthy act" by
local Health Depts.
About the oil in compost- This too will set up anaerobic conditions in a small
pile and will have the same effect- Irate neighbors and a SWAT team from the
Health Dept. Small amounts are fine, just don't empty a deep fat frier or your
dump in your hog renderings.
