Perhaps, but I doubt it. Compost is decomposed (hence the word compost)
vegetable matter of whatever source, perhaps run through some worms in
the process. Regardless, if you're growing plants in pots, you need to
supply fertility somehow, whether by adding soluble chemicals to a
sterile medium or by potting in pure compost or anything in between.

Commercially preserved meats such as bacon and sausage, for example. I
don't eat a lot of them, but I don't avoid them, either. I was under the
impression they do not form a significant part of your diet.
