Recycle your used parts

This story is more of interest to our good friend, Abby Cadaver, but human mortals should be aware of it too. I first read about this process in the book, STIFF by Mary Roach.
When you die, your body can be pressure cooked and pulverized into a tasty dust that’s pretty good on spaghetti as a dietary replacement for Romano cheese. No polluting furnace is involved.
Clicky.
Just remember to be sure a body is actually dead before you squish it into the processor. Many of us just look dead.
