Got thinking about the end. As in what happens to all that food we just ate in the end, kind of end.
Well I want to expand on the idea with India's example. With a land mass a third of the continental United States and a population over 1 Billion (by some measures) we can deduce the following -
An average human produces about 1 pound of excreta a day. That is approx 1B pounds of excreta in the whole nation. Since 75% of it is water the dry bacteria loaded content is only about 250 million pounds which is about 100 million kilos in the desi system.
Now think what 100 million kilos or 114 thousand tons of shit per day looks like.
That is the equivalent of six thousand semi tractor trailers full of hard turd lined up per day.
Now you may say I am full of it - but lets not joke here.
Of this about 50% conservatively speaking is not processesed successfully due to poor infrastrcture etc. That means around 3000 truck loads of crap is being channeled into the local ecosystems daily.
Over 30 states make up the country so on rough math basis you have 100 trucks worth of the goop going into the local water and food and air.
Solution - mass incineration of all turd - gather people at local turd drop locations to perform their ablutions and then just torch the whole thing every day. I think that is money well burned.
But alas someone will raise a stink about this.
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
