-Back in 1997 and 1998, I worked at the meat and seafood counter at a Grand Union supermarket, located in Glenville, Connecticut- The supermarket still exists, although it has since become a Stop-And-Shop-
-Each week, the butchers would save all of the fat that had been trimmed from the cuts of beef and pork into 55 gallond garbage cans, and once per week, a represenative from a processing company (the name of which I can't recall now) would come to collect our 55 gallon bags of beef and pork fat from out of our garbage cans- His company collects fat from butchers and supermarksts from around this region, and then sends the fat on to a company that then processes it into the base component for womens' lipstick-
-I have since moved on to a (much cleaner) office job with anothter company, but I can tell you that if you guys go to any butcher or to the meat section of any supermarket in the country, you can talk to the manager and ask him or her what company they pass their 55 gallon collections of beef and pork fat on to each week- You guys can join the "fat collection (or processing)" companies on one of their daily routes and film them collecting the fat from butchers and supermarkets and sending it on to be processed into numerous other products-
