"A commonly cited fact is that a banana peel decomposes in 2-3 weeks. Yet in a 20-year excavational study of America’s landfills, archeologist William Rathje discovered a disturbing truth about biodegradation—it 'simply doesn’t happen'...Entombed in garbage bags and buried under a mountain of other waste, foods were deprived of the oxygen and moisture needed to facilitate the process of decomposition."

NU Food Journal dropping knowledge on us right here!!! A great and super important read that everyone should take a look at.
