A different perspective.
All pun highly intended!
I read this on a guide to better composting and realized that this would be exceptional advice for our own bodies as well:
Try to avoid composting bread, pasta, nuts, and cooked food. They don’t break down very easily, become quite slimy, and can hold up the heating, breaking-down process. (Old nuts left in the garden will disappear quickly if you have squirrels or monkeys around!)
Never compost the following items for reasons of health, hygiene and inability to break down: meat and meat scraps; bones; fish and fish bones; plastic or synthetic fibers; oil or fat; pet or human feces (except for manure of herbivorous creatures such as rabbits and horses); weeds that have gone to seed; diseased plants; disposable diapers (nappies); glossy paper or magazines; coal and coke ash; and cat litter. Place these items in the normal garbage collection.

I especially love the last sentence.
Now how many people reading this great advice disguised as “better composting” do you think are willing to see the deep truth behind it? Unfortunately they ‘forgot’ to mention that truth in the article 😀
