Would you eat produce farmed in a cemetery?

Where did this thought come from?

Mother-in-law went missing and he wanted to start a vegetable garden.

I only eat vultures that partake in sky burial.

 

[William Huggins]

Only if it was an active cemetery.......

8ft long corpse carrots...... yummy

 

[William Huggins]

You could eat all of them? You must be really hungry.

...jesus, they're not even dead yet

Yet.............

He's thrifty, lives near a cemetery, and is seeking acceptance for his Cadaver Patch veggies.

Underrated movie

I'm not a "dead people as fertilizer" expert but I assume the contamination from the toxins, PoPs, heavy metals, etc, inside the dead people isn't so large as to make the produce dangerous to eat. Or at least, not any more dangerous than many industrially-grown crops. For example rice grown in the US south still has a high degree of arsenic contamination because arsenic was used on the cotton fields hundreds of years ago. The soil everywhere is various degrees of fucked, not a pristine planet.

Are the grapes grown on a cemetery...?

dead bodies are what plants crave

I've seen an argument along those lines about vegans and vegetarians. Vegans will look to avoid eating meats as they look to not harm animals. Can't fault a vegans heart. Yet vegetables, beans and grains require nutrients from animals, whether being fertilized from manure, dead animals or fertilizers made from animals that died millions of years ago.

I believe one of the Bronte sisters is believed to have become ill leading to her death due to living next to a cemetery and getting her drinking water from run off from where bodies were buried. I can imagine that would have been a common issue before modern plumbing.

Wouldn't be high on my list to eat produce grown over an old cemetery. It has a yuck value to it. I can imagine though the produce would be safe with todays modern farming and safety testing.

I don't see the purpose of growing crops at a cemetery, so no. However, my company did a lot of construction projects at a cemetery, which many days meant I'd each lunch amongst the walls of graves. At first it was odd but after spending a summer working there it didn't bother me anymore. I'd even be the only person in the cemetery some day, dropping off tomorrow's supplies as its getting dark.

 

[Jesus X]

My concern wouldn't be of a spiritual nature it would be more based on very resilient diseases,viruses and bacteria from a place that has human remains and combining them with zoological shenanigans.
