Would you eat food grown by fertilizer containing human feces  email this discussion to a friend?

Right here on the island there is a big "stink" (no punt intended) regarding food that is prepared using imported fertilizer containing human feces.The issue is divided along several lines with the farmers saying that the fertilizer is cheaper and more effective than the other inorganic fertilizer but having a very high odour ..
Others are concerned about the implications for health upon consumption and finally there are those who would feel more comfortable if the feces were locally derived thumbup

What is your take on the issue ? Are you bothered by this fact ? or do you belive like I do that some of the best vegetables have been grown by manure .lol Or are you concerbed about the source of the feces happy

i dont like the idea of this at all, surely it cant be healthy or we wouldnt be paying companys to take away and treat our waste we would be reusing it our selves

Ok I respect your view but I am not sure it woudl affect your health but I must admit that I didnt look at it like the way you did.Feces can be very useful though as it can be used to generate energy but I am straying still .Thank you for your response

Well, my friend, we'll be going down together. I was raised on food grown with cow manure. Talk about HUGE, delicious tomatoes!!! And watermelons as sweet as sugar. happy I don't know this for sure, but I think my Dad might still be using cow manure in his small garden & everybody brags on how delicious his veggies are!!! So, if we can safely use cow manure....why not human??? Does it sound gross??? Oh hell YESSSSS!!! But the results are what we're looking for & as we all know, we humans are fulla sh*t!!! wub wub

Fertilizers contain animal's feces which we eat right now. We in our country used cow feces to grow crops. People say that human feces would also turn into a good manure or dung. This help growing crops and killing unwanted things in the field.

I won't see any bad things using human feces into that too!

I can appreciate that we have been eating foods grown by fertilizers that contain animal faeces and gross as that sounds it doesn't disgust me as much as the idea of consuming something that was fertilized by human faeces. I know it probably wouldn't affect our health as much as our minds, Yuk! I couldn't do it, sorry! thumbdown


myLot reputation of 98/100. ronnyb (3489)   ranked 10 out of 725 in food  3 years ago

Ok thanks for your opinion .YOu are right on one count it is gross when you think about it it may not cause us any harm but just the thought picks at something in you .I however dont believe that there will any repercussions for our health because much of our faces actually ends up in the soil which grows our food anyway,so it is virtually the same thing

Hi ronnyb! Oh my, I think that I do not want to know what kind of manure or feces the farmers are using. I am for inorganic but I guess I will be concerned now about the source of the feces. Oh my, I might not be able to eat anymore. Yikes!wink
Take care and blessings to you!

Hi. I do agree with most of the other comments. We have all been eating foods grown with animal feces for most of our lives and it hasn't hurt us yet. It is all in our minds that make it discusting.

As far as I concerned, farmers usually use animal manure as fertilizers for vegetables and not from humans. However, animals like cow, goat and other cattle eats grasses so basically they are vegetarian. So best grown vegetables are considered organic :)

I'm not sure about using fertilizer containing human feces, I might not agree to that, thats kinda weird. We used to make a garden every year, and we used chicken litter as a fertilizer, it didn't smell too good either, but we got alot of nice vegetables out of it.
