There is a reason we use petrochemical based fertilizers, and NOT sprinkle our own shit on our food crops.

The United States should NEVER revert to eating their own waster like the North Koreans.

Seriously, we have more than enough cattle to have a non petrol supply of fertilizer as well. There's 0 reason to use human waste unless the above is literally the goal.

Petro chemical fertilizer is used to grow feed for cattle. They aren't producing enough to fertilize their own food source and human destined crops too.

Yup. If it were a closed system, where all the nutrients from the dead cattle were put back into the land, you could do that. Those nutrients go to humans instead.

No. That's not possible either.
