What do toilets have to do with healthy food ??? EVERYTHING !

Agri-business became huge after it launched its "green revolution". But it was a fantastic misnomer ... in reality, it was entirely a chemical revolution that replaced animal manure with chemical fertilizer. So what ? What's the big difference ? The difference is huge and will impact our health for a long time to come !:
Chemical fertilizer only contains the three principal building blocks for organic matter: N,P,K or nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. The animal manure, however, also contains a large number of nutrients needed in smaller quantities to make food-plants nutritious and good tasting. By not replacing those micro-nutrients, we gradually and sometimes quickly, impoverish the soils so they only produce bulk of grain, fruits and vegetable that look good, tastes nothing and almost totally lack nutritious value. The same is sadly true for animals that graze on grass that is chemically fertilized if you wonder why beef also has lost it's taste.
Now huge corporations, like Monsanto, have almost made food production and agriculture a completely chemical affair with pesticides, herbicides, genetically changes seeds to make crops able to stand more herbicides, and only chemical fertilizers ... and still very few people put their foot down because media serves those who pay best for getting the misinformation out and those who can buy advertising space.
Something wrong with this picture ?
As much as this picture has been promoted as "good", the alternatives have been proclaimed as bad, dangerous to health and a way of the past.
Both animal AND human (yes we are animals too) manure is vastly better as plant-nutrient replacement and there are ways to make human excrement into a perfectly safe fertilizer with no risk of spreading human pathogens.
If we used this superior fertilizer in agriculture we would also lower the pollution of rivers, lakes and estuaries since we would return these balanced plant nutrients to agriculture in a clean form instead of using huge quantities of fossil fuels to mine and fabricate chemical fertilizers ... and on top of it we then flush the good fertilizer out with the sewer. Once mixed with all of society's toxic chemicals it is useless as a fertilizer so instead of being the great resource that it is, it becomes a toxic waste disposal problem.
Short term there are only a couple of things we can do to get nutritious, good tasting food again: find someone who grows food in a healthy soil with manure fertilizer or grow our own... isn't it sad that it has come to this ?
