If I didn’t read this Toronto Star article for myself, I would not have believed it.
Shockingly, I have been eating food fertilized with human waste, pharmachemicals and water runoff toxins (i.e. city sewage sludge waste from residential toilet systems) since I was a baby.
Read the article for yourself, it’ll make you see local Ontario produce differently.

Until the breaking of this article in the Star, it was never publicly known. It’s cheap or free and not many people realize that this is how their food is being nourished. People are freaking out over BPA in their plastics, wait till they realize that that is likely less worrisome than the birth control estrogen being peed into the sewage system and being sprinkled onto your son’s carrots. Or how about the viagara pills flushed down the toilet to avoid discovery and making their way onto our farmers fields.
Consider the irony of folks who moved out to the country side for fresh air thinking living next to a farm, the worst thing they would experience would be the wafting manure smell only to feel their nostrils burn with the horrifying stench of sewage based fertilizers.
Decide for yourself what it means the next time you are eating mushrooms.
