Taylor Farms humanure
This one is pretty straightforward: basically we are unwittingly eating human shit. We all know the news about the Cyclospora outbreak from Taylor Farms produce. The conspiracy theory goes that the Iran War caused fertilizer prices to spike. So in order to cut costs on fertilizers without raising prices, Taylor Farms was experimenting with a new "humanure" fertilizer that used human waste products. This caused their produce to get infected with the Cyclospora because the treatment process for human waste doesn't kill the spores. Taylor Farm supplies lettuce and other produce to not only grocery stores, but many restaurants like Taco Bell and uses Sysco for distribution. So basically much like Soylent Green, we're eating human poop.
