I am in a factory where cows are being dropped into large vats in which they are liquified. A man who is in his early forties explains to me that this is the real way in which fuel oil is produced (apparently it's not actually drilled out of the ground).

"And we can only use ultra-lean cows. The fat cows...we just have to destroy them. We cannot convert them into oil."

Peering down inside one of the vats, I see various cows in various stages of liquefaction.
