Sewage Sludge Used As Fertilizer Poses Health Risks

The EPA warned that forever chemicals found in sewage sludge that some farmers use to fertilize fields and pastures can pose a threat to human and animal health. What do you think?

If you're in Wisconsin and looking for (or can take and process) meat birds, or know someone who can, there's a Situation going on:

The producer company just decided they didn't want the birds anymore and left the farmers that raised the birds a few days ago high and dry with no food coming in beyond what they had on hand. They've been working with locals have been organizing to get the birds out and processed so they don't suffer.

Did you know in some languages lady beetles are called god's little cow. I think about that often.

writing this piece served as an (unwelcome) reminder that we will likely see much less transparency around pesticides + negative impacts from chemicals generally in the next 4 years. exercise caution, do your own research, and advocate against 'solutions' we know to be harmful.

do hobbits even exist at this point in time?

We don't fucking know!!!

Legit we have no idea. Maybe proto-hobbits do exist, minding their own business over in what will become Eriador. I like to imagine them getting into spats over Who Should Inherit Granny's Good Teapot while over in Beleriand there are balrogs and dragons and desperate battles and all that.

Or maybe they don't yet! No idea! An ongoing Thing in the books is that no one really knows where the hell hobbits came from. The elves are baffled. The dwarves don't know. Humans have no idea. Hobbits themselves think that it's not important, or at least not as important as discussing the finer points of the weather and how it will affect the potato crop.

The global food economy is massively inefficient. The need for standardized products means tons of edible food are destroyed or left to rot. This is one reason more than one-third of the global food supply is wasted or lost; for the U.S., the figure is closer to one-half. The logic of global trade results in massive quantities of identical products being simultaneously imported and exported—a needless waste of fossil fuels and an enormous addition to greenhouse gas emissions. In a typical year, for example, the U.S. imports more than 400,000 tons of potatoes and 1 million tons of beef while exporting almost the same tonnage. The same is true of many other food commodities and countries. The same logic leads to shipping foods worldwide simply to reduce labor costs for processing. Shrimp harvested off the coast of Scotland, for example, are shipped 6,000 miles to Thailand to be peeled, then shipped 6,000 miles back to the UK to be sold to consumers. The supposed efficiency of monocultural production is based on output per unit of labor, which is maximized by replacing jobs with chemical- and energy-intensive technology. Measured by output per acre, however—a far more relevant metric—smaller-scale farms are typically 8 to 20 times more productive.
