However, unless you've got a compost pile 140 deg. or higher in the
middle, the oils *most* *likely* won't be broken down effectively.

See

for more info (for some reason, the "current page" of this goes to some
thing about domestic animal feces).

Certainly, if you have a working compost pile, that's great; I still
wouldn't use the resulting compost on edible plants.
