Human corpses used for fertiliser

[DrDunc]

Human remains are being composted to be used for soil

New York approves composting of human bodies

It is the latest place to approve the process - considered to be greener than a burial or cremation.

The solution to over population and unviabley high priced fertiliser?

Can't wait to see what Globalcorp.inc.ltd make of this opportunity. Profit to make from the dead. Steady population decline. What could go wrong?

I think it’s a good idea seeing as most people are full of sh!t

What would Red Tractor and the various supermarket protocols for fresh produce think to this ?

Traceability - this Savoy cabbage was grown using the remains of Grandad John.

The mind boggles

[Wilksy]

Could lead to some sort of mad ‘human’ disease…….

Yet much of our supermarket shelf Mediterranean vegetables are already fertilised from human shyte

Surely there's less risk from composted corpses?

Already too close to cannibalism?

The solution to the long term survival of humanity?

The circle of life……would help the NFU’s net zero ambitions maybe?

The solution to the long term survival of humanity?

it will help ,return of nutrients and all that but it wont help people get on together better i doubt or wars and greed private number plates fancy cars etc, going to take a bit more intelligence in people than we currently see that will, a lot more.

But we can spread sweet smelling plastic and tampax ridden human sludge on the ground before it is burnt? Burn it first and grow an energy crop in that primary rotation.. what is not to like?? Bse only happened because Thatcher allowed the oven temperatures to go down. Silly witch.. must have been a Tory!!!

Agreed most humanoids are greedy not intelligent!!

Eh?
Energy crop like miscanthus? Perhaps too long a rotation.
Not AD maize surely?

It currently costs a minimum of about £5000 to burn a humanoid post death in the UK.. thats alot of tonnes of wheat equivilent..

Most of that would be carbon tax.

Carbon credits will cover all that dontcha know.....

That is a clever thought! Has anyone ever calculated how much carbon an average humanoid generates for every year they are alive over the age of 50 in the UK? I think it would put soil carbon credits to shame

Spread my Dad on a crop of wheat that turned out the best crop last year, so there must have been some unexhausted manurial value in him.

Or a higher purpose.. no greater honour as a farmer..greatest respect.. but we should steer clear of individuals in this thread..

 

[David.]

I reckon there are some individuals so sour and twisted that they would guarantee no crop for 7yrs.
