Talk:Rendering (animal products)

message: This article heralds the economic benefits of rendering, in broad strokes proclaims it king. Far from the 'necessary evil' perspective most encyclopedias adopt. Removal of bias and the addition of other viewpoints (health, ethical, economical) requested. --70.88.195.46 14:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "The cracklings are further ground to make meat and bone meal." Is this one product or two? --Gbleem 14:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Same processes (eg, dry rendering and wet rendering), but one article discusses on a kitchen scale, the other on an industrial scale. I think the two should be merged. Peter G Werner 20:31, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I made this proposal, and I will simply go ahead and redirect Greaves (food) to here.  The entire text of the article was "In food discussions, greaves is the umeltable residue left after animal fat has been rendered"; if someone thinks that should be added to this article, feel free to add it.  --Xyzzyplugh 21:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a merge of the two rendering articles would be fine as long as they each have their own sections.  I seem to remember someone arguing they needed to be split up a few years back, resulting in the current arrangement.  The topic of kitchen rendering could be expanded significantly, but there is still a limited amount to say about it.  To merging or not would both be OK in this case. ike9898 16:22, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge [[Kitchen rendering]] and [[Rendering (food processing)]] 

message: I really don't see why kithcen rendering has been folded into industrial processes.
But I don't know enough to make the point/post myself. Which is why I came to wikipedia trying to find out about the how and the history of small-scale rendering techniques.
Any help out there?

replies: text: They are really the same thing, just on very different scales. Kitchen rendering could certainly have its own article, but as it stands we don't have much information specific to kitchen rendering, really not enough to make a decent article.  Hopefully, in your research you can turn up some information you can add to the article.  Please provide references for information you add - it will really help this article become more complete. ike9898 (talk) 20:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The writing style of this article, especially in the latter sections, is clearly amateur.  I am adding an inappropriate tone template so this can get rewritten.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.186.57.107 (talk) 16:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article appears to be copied from a high-school-level research essay 

message: I don't see the justification for putting a neutrality banner in the advantages and disadvantages section (or the following section).  If nobody raises an objection this banner should be removed. --204.8.148.32 (talk) 16:02, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Advantages and disadvantages seems neutral 

message: No reference at all to the whaling industry? Whale oil used to be the most important lighting oil of the western hemisphere. Rendering was done on board the whaling ships. Read Moby Dick for reference. I'm adding a Whale oil link to the "See also" section. --BjKa (talk) 13:25, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

message: The BSE section needs to be edited or removed. The referenced book by Lyman was written over 15 years ago, and the author was promoting a vegetarian diet. The information in this section is outdated, incomplete and misleading. Fortunately, regulations for meat processing, rendering, and animal food ingredients have changed dramatically since 2001. (Sorry, I don't know how to "edit" an article myself.)
