It’s well known that chicken fat may kill you by clogging your arteries, but did you know that it may also crash your car?Earlier this week chicken fat that leaked from a waste truck onto the roadway caused at least four accidents and made a smelly mess in PETA’s home state of Virginia. One injured person was even taken to a hospital.According to news reports a truck hauling waste chicken grease from a Perdue Farms plant left a valve open, and the fat leaked onto U.S. Route 13 from the plant to the Maryland state line. According to one Virginia State Police Sergeant, the gunk caused a “really funky” odor. No kidding. The moral of the story is that if you eat meat you’re causing car accidents—and even sending some people to the hospital.
