Fill up with Pigsel

I thought that pigs only ate mud and they were just dirty animals which is why they like to sit in the mud. Boy was I wrong! Pigs don't eat the mud, they use it to keep them cool because they have no sweat glands which was another thing I learned. The mud also protects them from insects.

For me the most remarkable thing about pigs, though, was about their fat. Pig fat usually is thrown away when we are cooking it, but I would have never thought that pig fat could be turned into bio-fuel! This bio-fuel can be used to power a motor vehicle just like gas and diesel but only cleaner to the environment.

I was thinking about this and I was trying to imagine how many pigs they may need produce enough fuel to use. Maybe your uncle might know, Leroy?
I was wondering, too, what would they call that kind of fuel...pigsel?

And I thought pigs were only good for one thing................FOOD!!
