Nanny State’s next stop: your bum

And you thought recycling was a bitch: How long before they’ve got us sorting our poop and pee, Stateside?
Toilets that catch urine and feces, separately, are catching on with do-gooders throughout Europe, according to a recent study. Told that their waste could be sorted, and converted into fertilizer (yes for food, and yes, for human consumption), they were only too happy to oblige.
Men also say they are willing squat over the bowls to pee, in order to hit their marks in the so-called “NoMix” toilets — something that’s difficult to do, standing up.
More of the disgusting story:
“NoMix-toilets have drawbacks, most importantly phosphate precipitation (20) causing blockages, or the necessity to sit to urinate (practical issues reviewed in (21)). Nevertheless, NoMix-toilets are increasingly installed.”
