Ecological Sciences of Exeter have a full report on the results of composting human effluent that may contain residues of antibiotics consumed by those persons who produced it.The same would therefore apply to animal effluent........The full paper costs £50.00. I have a summary of that paper. .......... >Of course in philosophical parlance, you are right.

So the question really is how much mercy do the >certifiers show to such poison contaminated seeds. In organic farming here in the Europe it is permitted to use inorganic seed at the present time. This is under a gerogation until 2004. It is the same with people. Either they have a gradually decreasing quality of food production over several generations (West Bengal, for instance) or they have a gradual increase in quality over several generations. Thus disease or health is reaped accordingly. One could see this as a reaction as to how we treat the land, which is the shaodow of the Supreme Lord. There are now children being born with tumors here in the west. And cancer and degenerative diseases are on the increase due to lack of proper nutrition.. In india, to propose to build a temple that will last a thousand years based on a western sewage system is not a good idea for many reasons. There are such voluminous amounts of organic fertiliser from both animal and man which are free and are currently being thrown away. Rather, they should go back to the land, replacing chemicals (including, illegal in the west - DDT) and start to reverse the trend of increasing infertility and its subsequent abhorant results. The future hope of society rests on its agricultural practise. >What is the exact translation of GMO? I guess it means Geneticaly Modified, >what does the 'O' stand for. GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism, and they only need this as they have gotten so far away from 'organic farming' >So after one year the verdict will be out on wheter or not dung from GMO >fed >animals can be used on organic farms? presumably, that is why they will be testing.
