You report the idea of grinding bones to make edible paste. In a case in point, my young son loves meat loaf. My wife and I noticed that the texture of it changed in all our usual shop-bought versions and thought there must have been some shift in ingredients that was so compelling that widespread adoption happened quickly. Our suspicion was reinforced when we noticed tiny, hard particles, which, under closer examination, looked like bone fragments. It seems like they had added bone puree (13 January, p 11).
As environmentalists, we are aware of food waste issues. Using bone paste could mean fewer animals sacrificed to satisfy the craving for meat, ideally edging us closer to not eating animals at all.
