<pre>Hi Peter,

As I mentioned once some time back, fuel, fertilizer and animal feed are
also the ways Turks deal with the residue. I think that's common in all
the Mid-East and Near-East countries. And as for nutrition, I'm told
there is little nutrition but it's filling. You probably know, there're
occasionly additives to cattle feed that are not nutritious - some folks
have even been know to use sawdust .. :-( Y'all keep smiling, Butch

<pre>Howdy Butch,

The ag experimental station in Jordan was investigating using a number of
commercial wastes as animal feed, not just olive pressing wastes. They
also were using wastes from the tomato paste and chicken processing
industries. I know here in the states, some feed is made with processing
wastes. Like Native Americans and the buffalo, nothing gets wasted

A note of caution is appropriate: it was waste sheepmeat being used in
cattle feed that led to the outbreak of mad cow disease in Britain
(and Europe, though they won't admit it....).

Keep on eating those burgers, boys...
