The military has been doing some test flights, but I don’t know if those particular craft were used.

Wouldn’t the ability to utilize what was formerly just waste, delay price rises? Each carcass will now generate more revenue. Since Tyson had to pay for waste removal prior to this and are now selling it to Conoco, Tyson is saving money, earning revenue from the former waste and Conoco has a new, lower cost source for its final product.
Will this market bring back the fat hog? Those animals, which used to be raised for lard, could be fed on anything and usually were. I know the ones that were raised by the former owners of our farm were fed on stale Fanny May candy, which the farmer got for next to nothing, since both he and he wife worked for Fanny May.
I don’t think this sort of innovation is economically zero-sum. Meat isn't being used for biodiesel. Anyone concerned about the scarcity of meat animals for food could also think about raising some.
OTOH, everything goes up, over time.

A symbol used to identify 'Vegetarian safe' products.
I assumed it was used worldwide.
