I believe in China it was common to site toilets over pig stys. Some loop closing isn't a very good idea. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_toilet https://en

- linuxftw 8y agoGross. Much of the 'compost' you receive at big-box stores is treated human waste: https://www.epa.gov/biosolids/frequent-questions-about-biosolids https://www.epa.gov/biosolids/frequent-questions-about-bioso... Not much goes to waste in the USA on an industrial scale.

- hanniabu 8y ago> So Milorganite is actually a bag of dried microbes! great marketing
- hopler 8y agoThe page says "Biosolids are treated sewage sludge." Sewage sludge is feces

- webignition 8y agoAbout 20 years ago I stayed for two weeks on a rural rice farm in Goa. The toilets fed directly into the pig sty. Very directly down a short chute add though a hole. An eager pig snout poked through the hole could make contact. Never before nor never again have I been so startled.
- swombat 8y agoBut... why... Pigs don’t eat human faeces...
- webignition 8y agoI have seen first hand that they do, not that I wish I hadn't.
- avip 8y agoPigs eat everything, including humans.
- ohiovr 8y agoPigs even eat pork. There is currently a problem with swine fever infected pork being reintroduced as feed in places like china. It is one of several vectors for the lethal (to pigs) disease.
- benj111 8y agoWell to be fair, if you were served some nameless meat, would you be confident in your ability to identify human and/ or not like the taste of it? Chickens will eat egg shells, and it's apparently a good source of minerals for them. You do have to scrunch them up, or else, from what I understand, they start associating egg shells with food, and start pecking their own eggs.
- all2 8y agoIts also good to bake them for a bit. It helps with the 'scrunching' and nutrient availability (so I've been told).
