WE ARE WHAT WE EAT?


Richard, in his usual scatological way, penned a blog about shit. Robert, the sensible younger brother observed that we eat food grown in shit. I wondered how much shit is best so looked it up in my 'How to do just about anything' book.
With cow, pig, horse and sheep manure you need between 2 and 5 kg per sq m.
With chicken shit you only need between 270g and 400g.
Why is that? Is chicken shit that much more concentrated? It made me think. If Richard is so full of shit if he crapped in someones garden we might have a return of the Triffids.
