Explaining a surprising organic rule from @moonvinewine

The creator carries a toilet bowl to a composting outhouse while explaining that although composting completes the nutrient cycle, human waste (humanure) is not permitted on organic farms. He clarifies that even commercially processed humanure is banned by the National Organic Program due to high concentrations of synthetic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals, concluding with the provocative statement that humans produce toxic waste.

Transcript excerpt

A composting toilet is a complete cycle of nutrients, but organic growers are not allowed to use humanure anywhere on their farm. It makes sense. You can't trust every farmer to do proper composting, complete sterilization free from pathogens, but I'm talking about processed humanure good as fertilizer, none of which you can use on organic farms. Because the National Organic Program decided that human waste fertilizer has high concentrations of synthetic chemicals, pharmaceutical drugs, and heavy metals rank cannot be used on organic farms. No humans make toxic waste. Ouch. Organic for life.
