Trump officials kill proposed rules for Pfas-contaminated sewage fertilizer

Sounds like a fertilizer shortage is coming.

Also, for the ones who don't know what sewage fertilizer is, it's the sludge that remains at the end of the process in water treatment plants. The good bits are human shit that we flush down the toilet. The bad bits are everything else that gets flushed down the drain. And there's a whole lot of bad that's flushed by industrial production, like PFAS. All that ends up in the sewage sludge. Then the sludge gets spread on farmer fields aa fertilizer. Then the extra compounds end up in the leaves of the lettuce in the grocery store.

Sounds like the US has reached the eat shit phase of eat shit and die

“Just earlier this month, EPA announced it’s going to split up the main arm devoted to scientific research — they were going to essentially gut the team that is responsible for assessing health risks from chemical exposure.” - Huffpo, May '25

Yet another reason to avoid any and all food and drink from the usa. If it doesn’t give you a month of diarrhea, it’ll kill you.
