Grow food in poop. Not the best idea we’ve had.
Besides the possibility of pathogens and prions, what about drug residues?
MILDRED: Oh Jake, it’s just your imagination.
JAKE: No it’s not Mildred. I’m telling ya; this water melon taste like sh*t.
There’s a Governor Brown joke in there somewhere.....

How about giving Cali growers water to grow stuff.
With this news we’re better off with a roll of the dice buying food grown in Mexi-China.
Do they get all the medical and doper’s drug residue as an added bonus?
Who gives a crap? They’re just Californians. Not to be missed.
been force feeding their citizens their own poop for years?The article further describes some aspects of the sludge treatment, but doesn’t clarify the parameters of the sludge being disposed in the agricultural sector. The purchase of the land doesn’t encourage less reporting, but probably should mandate closer scrutiny of their operating procedures.
Sludge is a byproduct of wastewater treatment, which ranges from heavy effluent after initial screening and clarification, to product which has been fully deoxidized, burnt, and void of bacteria. It is a part of the wastewater treatment process, not necessarily identifiable as sewage.
Most people associate sludge being used on agriculture with spreading manure on farmland. It isn’t the same. In many cases (most cases) sludge being disposed off site from wastewater treatment processes is not septic, nor has any odor. It likely is finer in particle size, less dense, and may be more prone to increasing dust in the air, if not adequately suppressed while handling the media.
