There are tons of shit being shitted out every day but it is flushed and not used.

The US Government PAYS farmers to NOT grow food and have been doing so for decades.

Crop rotation and three sisters planting are known solutions to lack of nitrogen fertilizer.

I kept seeing that the nutrition within food was decreasing over time. So you now have to eat 4 tomatoes to get the nutrients you used to get in 1 (but obviously you end up with 4 times the calories). It's gotten so bad now that the NHS tells pregnant women they can't get all the nutrients they need from diet and have to take supplements.

But no one ever said why this was happening and so I looked into in and found the problem was exactly that, we used to fertilise with shit which put all the nutrients and more back into the solid. Now we fertilise with chemicals which make plants grow nice and healthy but don't contain the full rang of things we need to live.

And that's why I bought shares of WEAT, an ETF. It's been doing pretty well.
