Visceral MonoculturesA squat white metal-and-concrete building sits in a barren, dusty Great Plains industrial park outside the town of Dixon. 1 It is unremarkable and is dwarfed by its two gargantuan neighbors: a slaughter house that kills more than nineteen thousand hogs per day and a factory that converts the ensuing harvest of 282,000 pounds of rendered fat into commercial biodiesel and glycerin for cosmetics.There are no signs or forms of branding that announce the building's ultimate purpose.A half dozen cars sit in its gravel parking lot.Two metal chemical storage cylinders poke out from the back.When I visited the fa cil i ty shortly after it opened in the early 2010s, local residents were calling it the "kibble plant." But no one seemed to know what was actually being manufactured in its interior.Before meeting with its eight employees, I assumed it made small batches of designer pet food or dental treats.Instead, this building, along with a handful of identical others built next to the United States' largest slaughter houses over the past de cade, uses the chemically concentrated essences of hogs' lungs and livers to make a powdered or liquid flavoring
