I don't know if you're serious or not. Here's the exact timestamp where it is discussed, and the source for the claim that humans make alright but unspectacular compost is Dr. Lynne Carpenter-Boggs of WSU.

It's worth noting that Caitlin Doughty is a certified mortician, and the person she's interviewing, Katrina Spade, is the driving force behind that particular human composting facility. They both, together with a slew of other people, have campaigned to make human composting legal in New York and California.

So it's not some weird troll BS, these are professionals discussing their work, which at least for Katrina is human composting, and Caitlin, dead bodies in general.

I was being very serious. If those were the sources, why were they not in the description? Why would I have to watch ten minutes of video to be sure the information is valid and accurate? I'm not going to do that, since it's usually a waste of time.

Because the quality of compost that human bodies make isn't the main topic covered. The first video is a general discussion on human composting, as well as a bit of an interview of Katrina Spade, and a walkthrough of the process. The second video is a discussion/update on where human composting as an alternative way to dispose of bodies currently is in terms of legality in the U.S.

I shared the videos because Caitlin Doughty is a fun person, and the work she does is important and a lot of her videos are very interesting. I shared the videos because I thought that others might benefit also.
