Chicken fat

I have added a few refs for the engine etc

Also I unfortunately discovered in the documentation (ATI project overview) a reference to "chicken fat" as one of the sources of fuel.

I know this is probably not part of the "intake" or "food" and would probably have to be some melted down version similar to palm oil, however there is no info on how that would be used and so I cannot distinguish from "provided by man" or "picked up by the robot"

There are also several reports in major news sources that Finkelstein said "mostly vegetarian"

I have not followed that up as yet.

I have tried to distinguish between the engine maufacturers (who state the engine was not intended to run on anything other than veggie) and RTI (who stated the "chicken fat")

Vegetarian?

Im going to go through my stuff and find this before I add it but I clearly remember this project having the ablightly to subsist off human bodies possiably. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikimakesmart (talk • contribs) 03:22, 25 August 2010 (UTC) Okay tracked it down according to this http://schott.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/22/eatr/ those reports where real but false.I sincerly doubt that the project was changed, I believe we may be being lied to.Will continue to follow this story and report back.Wikimakesmart (talk) 03:27, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Past Tense?

Why is this article written in past tense? From what I read from the external link, it is still in progress. 2601:640:4080:5960:49F1:BC8F:8DAA:A519 (talk) 03:58, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
