Thanks Paul,
You put that really well.  One of the reasons e coli is so prevelant is because we, as a society are too clean.  Children that are never exposed to any "nasties" never develop a immunity to them.

I have to quarrel with the whole business of composting to make anything "safe". It's just not an exact science and no one can kill all pathogens or decompose all toxins by composting at any level. Healthy soil is not sterile nor free of pathogens. What healthy soil does is favor beneficial microorganisms over the bad guys and produce healthy plants and produce. YMMV.
