It was pointed out, and I had to concede after some searching online and on the WEF website that there is no WEF quote that states anything about directly eating processed human excrement, none that I could find.
Obviously, this article has made an unverified conclusion and published it as they never provided a link or a direct quote for verification. I don't mind that so much as this is the same conclusion I have been coming to with the bug-eating bullshit. Confirmation bias? Paranoid Conservative Echo Chamber? Maybe, but this one is too obvious to disbelieve as a real possibility IMO.
Sorry , my bad ...i should checked the source better. I do think that they will

Human Waste: A Future Solution to Food and Water Scarcity
Yikes!
Michigan consumers warned of produce contaminated with human waste
Food and Water for the Future: Recycling Human Waste
Holy Smokes! A farm right here in Michigan was caught doing that! I bet they were doing more than that if they used unprocessed human waste as fertilizer on food crops.
Your post reminded me of a scene in Gone With The Wind where Scarlett rolled up her sleeves to plant tobacco and all they had was human waste as fertilizer, so she used that and another scene in the movie had a buyer smoking it and commenting how very superior the tobacco was. It's just a fictional movie or is it based in some historical truths?
Historical truth.
The North, during Reconstruction, did their best to finish destroying the South altogether. Shortages of everything were rampant. Shit is shit, and any available was used as fertilizer. There are still people to this day who fertilize their weed with chicken shit. We used horse manure and straw to fertilize our garden and loosen the soil, which was clay-heavy. I used to muck out the stalls and pile it into big compost piles. We'd let it sit several months up to a year before spreading it on the garden. It would get so hot as it rotted that snow wouldn't stick to it, and you could often see steam rising from the compost heaps. I piled it a good distance from the barn, because those heaps have been known to get hot enough to burn a barn down.
You'd take it out in late winter, a couple months before spring planting, and spread it on the fields then plow it in to the ground to allow it to work the soil for a couple months before setting seed.
Back then during "Gone With the Wind" days, right after the Civil War, farm critters were in short supply. What the Yankees didn't steal and eat during the occupation was needed for food for the natives, so there were no large-scale farming operations to gain manure from for the fields. Farm critters were in short supply, and just didn't last long enough.
So you used what was available to fertilize.
Also back then, human excrement had a different composition from what it does now. Far fewer processed and refined drugs, and far fewer chemicals from processed foods going into human bodies. What doesn't go in can never come out.
What the North did to the South during Reconstruction was a large reason that so many Southerners and Civil War vets went out west - to escape the ravages being visited upon the vanquished South by the "Radical Reconstructionists". It's one thing to lose a war for your home country against an invading force, but something else altogether to have your nose rubbed in that defeat, for decades. A lot escaped to the West, where life was easier - all you had to do out there was fight Indians and gunslingers.
