7. Throwing money away is cheaper?

Next time you are at the garden store, look at the price on a package of "blood meal" (i.e. blood from slaughter houses that has been dried for application as a fertilizer), it ain't cheap. The real answer is some sort of bullshit like "well, that's outside our core business and we would have to buy expensive equipment and because of the liability and besides, there's some minorities living downstream and I don't like them, so we do it because we can."
