Tony,

Indeed, the sludge was put directly into the food supply.

I wonder if ENDS or any other news service would have more on a story I
heard yesterday on the BBC World News, that the Belgian Govt has just
admitted they knew of sewage sludge and other wastes getting into the B.
food supply.  I think the report said this was discovered by the press
investigating the PCB/dioxin food crisis.  It wasn't clear that the sludge
was put directly into the food supply (vs. using it as fertalizer, e.g.),
but that was the implication!!
