World's Most Expensive Tea Made From Panda Poo
Excerpt:
"Pandas have a very poor digestive system and only absorb about 30 percent of everything they eat,” Yashi told the Australian website. “That means their excrement is rich in fibers and nutrients.”
According to Yashi, those important nutrients end up in the tea through that fertilization process.
These nutrients are no joke, and Yashi claims that they are immensely powerful.
“Just like green tea, bamboo contains an element that can prevent cancer and enhance green tea’s anti-cancer effects if it is used as fertilizer for the tea,” he told SBC.com.

WARNING! Sewage sludge is toxic. Food should not be grown in "biosolids." Join the Food Rights Network.
Bay State Fertilizer is a Boston, MA product sold as fertilizer but made from sewage sludge.[1] Fertilizer is used on lawns, shrubs, annuals and vegetable gardens. [2] Hundreds of communities across the U.S. sell toxic sludge products that are typically renamed biosolids and sold or given away as "fertilizer" or "compost" (and often even labeled or marketed as "natural" or "organic"). Bay State Fertilizer is made by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority and it is advertised for use on lawns, shrubs, annuals and perennials, and vegetable gardens.[3] It is used on golf courses, parks, athletic fields, and for municipal landscaping. Since 1995, it has also been sold to the public at garden centers and nurseries.

​Anyway, a subsidiary of that Carlyle Group is contracted by Orange County to take our poop to the pastoral-sounding Green Acres Farms, land near the tiny Kern County town of Taft where OC and Los Angeles County spread mucho waste-o. The counties concluded this was cheaper than the old practice of merely pouring shit into the sea off the coast, which environmentalists and ocean water regulators successfully made much more expensive.

Orange County homes, businesses and industries, on a per capita basis, together generate more than 80 gallons of raw sewage every day. We like to think after the toilet water swirls that our waste is taken to a magical place where ferries on ponies wave wands that turn the nasty stuff into sunshine and rainbows.
Actually, when it comes to that generated in 21 of our cities with a total population of 2.5 million people, the Orange County Sanitation District treats the sewage daily--enough to fill Angel Stadium almost three times.
