Vegetables grown in shit, garbage, and pesticides are fine as long as the levels of harmful residues are low enough by the time they reach people's mouths. Not appealing, but also not that "dystopian"
- lazide 1mo agoGood luck actually doing that, however. Plenty of folks wishing to pretend though.
- selfhoster1312 1mo agoUsing manure and compost as fertilizer is likely as old as agriculture (though i disagree using pesticides is fine). What did you mean?
- lazide 1mo agoPlenty of substances bio accumulate, and being less than careful with animal waste as fertilizer causes outbreaks and disease.
- selfhoster1312 1mo agoHa yes of course, this is obvious to anyone in the field but always a good idea to repeat. For example, do not use human feces as fertilizer for food you'll eat (at least not directly).
- lazide 1mo agoAck, yeah it's one of those 'well duh', until people who have no idea blindly copy the idea and then plague, or prions, or arsenic poisoning, or whatever.
