Regarding sewage, I recall my High School Biology teacher talking about food digestion and the importance of chewing. Specifically, he mentioned corn.
ReplyDeleteHe claimed that he once toured a sewage treatment plant and his host, noting the floating corn kernels, supposedly said "well, I see corn's in season."
But anyway, how long before they start using DNA in sewage to track down individuals?
