No!!! In my opinion, I think that fertilizers are horrible to our limited drinking supply!! We can only dring 1% of all water on earth and we are polluting it, not only with runoff from farm fertilizer that can contaminate our water supply, but by factories and plastic (which can leak chemicals into water)... Its just wrong.
Fertilizers are bad for any water because it is baisically leaking chemicals into water that aquatic creatures live in. We can also contaminate our own drinking supply with fertilizers (surface runoff).
I know that we can end our hunger crisis using fertilizers, but we are creating a far worse crisis... water pollution. I see that you are thinking that we have water cleaning treatment systems so its no big deal that you use it. But its the same with everybody else, they think that "oh its only one person" but its not. Every little thing on our world affects another and you affect someone too.
