They would never use pork fat! Heads would roll! Literally!
Of course, the Hindus might be pleased with the beef fat (tallow) but they are less likely to massacre anyone.

I've handled plastic money in several countries...don't like it one bit.Once it's been scrunched up (shoved in a pocket for example) it's never the same.

Clearly, to please everyone, both beef and pork must be avoided. The answer is... schmaltz (chicken fat) !

Clearly, to please everyone, both beef and pork must be avoided. The answer is... schmaltz (chicken fat) ! Or . . . "What is Soylent Green?" Liberals would be okay with that ingredient, if the money were printed to fund parasitic social programs.

People are so freaking stupid.
When animals are killed for consumption, there are many bi-products. By saying they don’t want those bi-products used, people are saying they would prefer to have as much of the animal wasted as can be accomplished.
IMO < it’s far better to use every last it of the animal. The less that is wasted the better.
Using every possible bit of the animal, is more respectful of the animal. It means it died for as full a purpose as could be accomplished.
