      Wouldn't like to see good fertilizer go to waste....
      well I wouldn't eat their crops.

      Koreans got many sicknesses from eating crops that were fertilized by human waste.

      animal waste is different due to the stomachs and the way foods are ingested and the foods they digest.

      horse, cows and chicken poop are the ones easiest to collect and best producers in my area.

        Michigan Gov Threatened Docs Who Used Promising COVID-19 Drug, Now She's Begging Trump for It

        Months after China allowed a few dozen cases of a new coronavirus to grow into a global pandemic, the world is racing to find a cure for COVID-19.
        While a clinically proven vaccine is still in the works, there are hopeful reports of existing drugs that are seemingly able to help patients triumph over the worst the disease has to offer.

        These apparent wonder drugs, which include hydroxychloroquine, have sparked a worldwide debate over their usefulness.
        Some who have taken the anti-malarial drugs credit the medicationsletter issued by the agency last week.
        This came after President Donald Trump himself hyped the promising drugs, a move which caused critics in politics and the media to wage a campaign
        March 21, 2020

        The Michigan governor, whose anti-Trump attitude and political presence make her a potential vice presidential pick for Democratic candidate Joe Biden, appears to have changed her mind on the usefulness of hydroxychloroquine.
        Only a day after the Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine sulfate, Whitmer was gunning for her cut from the national stockpile.
        Michigan Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Lynn Sutfin confirmed to Michigan news outlet Bridge MagazineJohns Hopkins.
        The new flow of drugs provides hope that the tide may soon turn.

        Some experts, like Dr. Vladimir Zelenko of New York, say the drugs are a game-changer.
        Zelenko claims his cure rate with a hydroxychloroquine cocktail is 100 percent.
        #coronavirus News Alert: Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in NY, has now treated 699 Covid-19 patients with 100% success using Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate, Zinc and Z-Pak. All symptoms of shortness of breath resolved within 4-6 hr https://t.co/siCvNg845Q pic.twitter.com/lOrUvBHp0AMarch 29, 2020Reuters.

                Milorganite Fertilizer - For Better Results.. Although, cow, chicken and rabbit are great sources as well, but they must graze on organic matter and not have been grazing on grass that has been treated with pesticides and weed inhibitors. Take atrazine for example terrible if its in cow manure for fertilizer as it is passed though the digestive tract and winds up killing plants they are being applied to and scientifically have cause defects in frogs.

                              can you post an article link for a way that china screwed up africa... I think I am in the positive china google bubble... can't find one article... doesn't mean it does not exist... google will give you articles to reinforce your ideas and biases... so if you can post one article or link where china has had a bad effect on africa... then it should break my search results in a good way...

                              A filter bubble is a way search engines make you want to use them... they tell you what you want to hear... so you use them more... being around audiences with differing ideas help you to break out of it because this can often redefine how the search engines work in a good way... making them broaden what they think is acceptable for you to see...

                              this is why if you do a search for a term at work with google on a work computer in the office and then do the same search at home on your home computer... you will often get differing results... previous searches inform latter searches... in a self reinforcing way... an athiest will more often than not see articles about athiesm... a christian will see articles on christianity... and so on... unless their searches break the mold...
