 Biodiesel from chicken fat.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- The rising cost of soybean oil is allowing another unique biodiesel cocktail to take flight -- this one made from chicken fat.
According to Associated Press, two oil businessmen have realized they can take the slimy stuff from a Tyson Foods Inc. poultry plant in Missouri and turn it into a boutique fuel for the trucking industry.
Jerry Bagby and a longtime friend are building a $5 million biodiesel plant, which will produce annually about three million gallons of the chicken-soy biodiesel combo.
