I'm pretty there are all sort of health issues in using human sewage as compost. Look at North Korea for an example of that.

- ReptileMan 5y agoNorth Korea is also terrible example about having government at all. IIRC the problem was that they were using improperly treated waste.

- DoingIsLearning 5y agoAs far as I understand they have a shortage of everything, including livestock, so they end up using human feces as compost. This becomes a disease vector and you end up with ground water and vegetables contaminated with all sorts of parasites. This is specially critical for children because intestinal worms effectively hijack what little nutrients they can eat, creating even more malnourishment.
