Thank heaven I prefer a dram. https://stv.tv/news/international/1388119-fancy-a-wee-drop-danish-brewers-make-beer-from-urine/

hmm.. so what do they use to fertilise the malting barley for the whiskey making process?

YUCK! :o

Calm down, Floo, they're not going to brew lager from urine (could you tell the difference?)
They are only going to use urine instead of animal faeces as fertiliser for the barley. Since urine is normally sterile it sounds like a step forward to me. ::)

I dislike any sort of beer.

I wonder if they rotate the fields for USE and rest them every seven years.
Some animals would have already peed on the ground at some point in time.
We didn't always have toilets, either. ;D
Do bears sh*t in the woods... Not seen any in queues for the toilet. ;D
The land must be amassed with human waste.
Never mind.... I am not sure taking the proverbial is the way to go but it stops a lot of water droughts. ::)

But piss from the mankiest toilets known to man: festival portaloos?

When I was a child, the town I lived in maintained a "sewage farm". The waste from the towns sewage system was pumped onto fields, where it was allowed to dry and was then ploughed into the ground and used to grow crops or carried away to enrich other fields in other farms.
Sassy's comments here are entirely appropriate and highlight the extent to which, in our obsession with "hygiene" we have lost touch with reality. We flush away our body waste with relief, but to fail to realise its relevance in the great cycle of life. Without ours, other people's and other animal's faeces we would probably starve.
Do you remember The Onedin Line? The early episodes were concerned with carrying "guano" to be used as a fertiliser.

I thought the reason they don't use human waste was because the waste of carnivores was too toxic and not containing the right sort of stuff.
We are not carnivores but we do eat meat, enough to affect our waste.
I could be wrong, but I thought only animals that ate grass and fibrous stuff, herbivous was valuable.
It could be a good argument for going vegetarian, I suppose.

More healthier than you think going vegetarian. The additives in the feed and the antibiotics so to speak all have an effect on the meat we eat, organic vegetable and meat are the healthy option and only good option in reality.
