[Cob] manure tea on uncooked produce

[Shody Ryon]

Hi Ron,
I agree to an extent; I worked in a greenhouse that grew wheatgrass, sunflower and buckwheat micro greens that were meant to be consumed raw and grown in a "home made vegan" compost that was infiltrated by rats. We sent the compost to a lab for testing. The test results were positive for a non-toxic (to humans) form of ecoli and was therefore (still) considered dangerous.

Another way might be for us all to stop being afriad of poo poo. It 
seems to be a cultural mania in this country. Cereal companies could 
coat horse manure in sugar as sell it as high fiber cereal and noone 
would know. It would scare us all to know how much the various food 
lobies have spent to have certain amounts of fecal matter and worse 
allowed in our food supply. It's been that way for many years.   Just a 
thought, and I mean no disrespect to anyones comments.
