We all understand that media can be very difficult, however in this situation where EVERYONE knows what is going on, do not make sense to stop the news. we have to think that many of our children are going to be affected for this situation, not just that our planet is already with a lot a contamination and we cannot do ANYTHING, so why hide from the people. Does not make sense.
In 2007, I published a book, "Charity on Trial" (Barricade Books), in which I devoted a whole chapter to this guy and his demented battle with the Center for Science in the Public Interest (more commonly known among some as the "food police"). I cannot believe the IRS still hasn't shut his operation down. There is already a venue, other than through a charity, to do what he does: it's called lobbying. Yet, as your article points out, he needs to provide a secret road to influencing public opinion - and for the most pernicious of reasons - and he does so by making sure almost nothing of his organization's revenues are spent on the public good. He mocks the nonprofit world.
You commit multiple logic flaws. First, fraudulent evidence is not proof that the conclusion sought to be supported is wrong; fraudulent evidence is simply valueless and does not prove anything. Second, the fact, if true, that Atlanta sludge contains unacceptably high levels of toxins is not evidence about San Francisco sludge. Third, some toxins are cumulative and some are not, and some of the specific items analyzed are not toxins at all. Chlorinated hydrocarbons and metals that are not nutrients (i.e. lead) tend to be cumulative. Metals such as zinc, that are nutrients, may be toxic in overdose but they are not cumulative. Nitrates are the reason sewage is valuable as fertilizer; describing them as pollutants is ludicrous (although they become pollutants in the water if applied in excess).
In order to justify your description of San Francisco sewage solids as "toxic sludge" you require quantitative analyses of many samples of San Francisco sludge taken over a reasonable time span, and comparisons of the actual concentrations of the various toxins to acceptable levels of each. I do not see any information specific to the San Francisco sludge, and I do not see any quantitative information at all. It is clear that your education in the scientific method is sadly deficient.

For a country that prides itself on freedom and "Knowing the truth" this is insane. this is certainly a very ugly side of American politics.
