Fertilizer made from city sewage has been spread on millions of acres of farmland for decades. Scientists say it can contain high levels of the toxic substance.

    The fertilizer made from sewage makes me so angry. Sure it could probably be done safely. But who is overseeing it on a constant basis everywhere? No one. In the meantime sewage treatment plants can literally sell people back their own shit laced with drugs and chemicals and whatever else people dump and flush.

    Using pesticides and chemicals is not healthy and not sustainable. The government should subsidize sustainable pest control instead of all the corn subsidies.
