no sludge
 

I would like to associate myself with the comments made by Dave Gibson.  There is no way to guarantee that every application of sludge is safe.  Not everything that goes down our drains can be safely sanitized for use on our food.  To equate sludge to what we normally think of as biosolids is just an attempt to fool the public.  Let's concentrate on finding alternative uses for human waste rather than risking the health of our people.
