Can pee help feed the world?

“Go pee on the rhubarb!”

In medieval times they used to have pee buckets to collect men’s urine. The urine would be allowed to rest until it had a high concentration of ammonia, which in turn was used to set vegitable based dyes (inexpensive and new technology
then). Medieval times were actually filled with vibrant color, much more like the technicolor movies pre-1960 than the later movies that show medieval colors of dull browns and grays. I guess we need to set up a separate system for the collection of urine. Maybe cities can finally do thier part. ;)

Now I know why rhubarb pie is so tart.

I can think of a whole lot of people I wouldn’t want contributing to the pee pool.....a whole lot.

[JudyinCanada]

Ha! Nope - that can be blamed on being skimpy with the brown sugar.

Eat bugs and pee on your plants. What an awful world is being forced on us.

Daddy rabbit: “This radish is kind of pithy.”

Junior rabbit: “Well it should be; I just got done pithing on it!”

Visualize world pees

Bad idea. Ever wonder why we see E. coli and other pathogens on lettuce and other green food crops? Water reclamation done poorly.

Tree farms for years have taken bio solids and applied it to the soils and municipalities here sell or sometimes gives it away to home gardeners. They always tell you NOT to use it on vegetable soils.

I don’t know about feeding the world but i pee around the flowers in my yard during the spring, summer and fall to keep the deer away. Works great.

Half or more of the population is taking prescription drugs so their excrements are no good for fertilizer.

Animal manure, especially horse, works great when mixed into compost, but human waste was tried and abandoned years ago, due to the piles not heating-up to 160°F, and not destroying the many harmful pathogens and chemicals. Yet the "migrant labor" who tend and pick veg crops, pee & poop on the fields and lettuce, celery etc get contaminated, which gets washed, but not efficiently, and then passed on to consumers. Chipolte, Jimmy John's and others have had outbreaks from processed lettuce and other vegs.

Start passing out honey buckets like they do in china. Anyone on welfare is given the collection job.

That would be problematic. Not long ago they were saying we should drink urine and the other day I read about lab meat, a DIY kit called ouroboros (snake eating its tail). It’s a steak made from a swab of your cheek, they claim it’s not technically cannibalism...

Steak? More like hotdogs.

I don’t like rhubarb.

And I don’t like pee.
