​A car made of pork

Ok, hear me out. I’ve heard that there’s a huge amount of food waste in America. So what if we take all the leftover pork scraps, and use them to build the frames of cars? The engine would still be metal, but the frame would be made of many pork bones tied together with pork sinews, and covered in the pork meat. I understand that meat goes bad quickly so it would need very large amounts of preservatives to keep it from spoiling. The seats and interior would also be made of meat. This might sound like a stupid idea, but meat is very soft and provides padding, which would make the car safe during accidents. Also, it would be cheap to repair, as the manufacturer could easily get more pork to use. Meat also has a similar texture to a human being, due to being made of muscle, so it might be even more comfortable than normal car materials are. The meat can be covered in the same sort of casing that’s used for sausage, to keep pieces from falling off the car frame. In an emergency, someone stranded in the car would also never starve because the car is edible. And it would float better than a metal car would.
