    From a living animal?

    Mind explaining how? Because I think that's tough to do, unless you like jelly-cows.

... I think it's pretty obvious that bone meal and leather (which proceeds after it in my list) are end-of life byproducts (which doesn't negate their usefulness, nor does it negate the argument). Either you missed a winky-face there, or you're being purposely obtuse.

I'm into electric cars, man. But i buy used and fuel efficient (my 2004 vibe gets 29-30 mpg on the highway, which is pretty good for having all the other features I need including carrying two of these when necessary). As I alluded to in my first and second paragraphs, I don't have a problem with the ideas presented in this article, I have a problem with HOW they are presented.

I may have missed a winky face. I was also trying to be joking, not insulting about it.

My KLR got about 65 MPG. That was pretty cool.

The Benelli gets closer to 35 but it also goes faster than I even really want to. The intake throats on it are bigger than they were on my Chevy 400.

If i didn't have to truck around a double bass, and I didn't have to visit my folks where it can get to -50, I'd drive a motorbike hands down. I wish there was a practical option. I thought about maybe a sidecar, but... probably not a good idea.
