Labeling food as organic doesn't make it so. And labeling toxins as fertilizers doesn't make it safer; it just changes who does what with it and why.
After reading about sludge, you might see why some off the grid types buy expensive composting toilets.
Eat, shit, fertilize, and eat again. For thousands of years, this arrangement worked just fine.
Urine, feces, menstrual blood, hair, fingernails, vomit, dead skin cells - can be composted (though I personally don't compost feces save for cow and chicken). But we never see the rest of the waste: industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, soaps, shampoos, solvents, pesticides, household cleansers, hospital waste.
So that everyone feels more comfortable, the cycle is now flush anything and everything down and believe the Sludge Fairy will wave her wand to compost everything back into organic matter. Problem: there is no Fairy, and complex chemicals do not break down during composting – at least not in this lifetime.
Hospital waste? I remember reading that hospitals have their own pharmacopeia and when they reach their expiration date, down the toilet it goes.
Sorry to make you cough up your plutonium pancakes, but if you're eating processed foods, you're merely empowering industrial agriculture to keep right on polluting the land and our bodies.
