Welp, I'm off to a composting seminar.  Seriously.

I compost.  There is nothing like opening up my composter, in the middle of the Canadian winter, and seeing the steam rising off of it.  It's all like "Fuck yeah!  I am composting, and I am doing it right, mutha fucka!"  Who knew rotting vegitation could be so damn satifying.

Also, at the University I used to work at, the compost program accepted all food waste, including meat and dairy, which was just disgusting to me...  What the hell?  I don't want to be any where near where they process that stuff.

I think you can compost meat and dairy as long as there's a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of plant material in there. 

In "The Omnivore's Dilemma," at Joel Salatin's farm they compost the blood of slaughtered chickens, by mixing it with a crapload of sawdust from their milling operation.

Salatin is probably the coolest person ever. SO COOL.

I didn't even put meat or cheese in to get maggots.  The maggots were just like, "So what if an overrripe melon is food?  I ain't buggin."

A fly lays an egg.  Dirt is born.
