I live in an intentional community that composts. And many of us are on the non-meat spectrum, so meat scraps are verboten in the compost.
I've pointed out that soil is already loaded with remains of dead animals. But to no avail.
- ryan_j_naughton 7y agoBeing vegetarian or vegan doesn't mean not eating anything that contains molecules that previously were meat. It means not eating anything that is an animal product. By definition decomposers are converting the animal products into basical minerals and nutrients because THEY are eating the meat. Otherwise plant matter couldn't even be eaten because some of the carbon has been through the carbon cycle and was previously an animal.
