From Poop to Produce

I simply had to link to this based solely on the sub-headline. And, actually, because I really was curious:

Manure, runoff, and wild animals.

    Oh fess up - you just wanted to use the “poop” category.

    I purchased a take and bake pizza and they didn’t give me tomatoes. I thought it was weird since I was going to bake it.

    Don’t forget about clusterflock’s friend, poop. Human waste is also a source of salmonella (typhoid). How many porta pots have you seen in the veggie fields where you live?
