I will never fulfill my childhood dream of being an astronaut.

Where else do you think you get drinking water on Earth? A very large amount of drinking water is essentially recycled from many sources. I live near a water treatment facility, so out water is pretty clean... despite its origins.
You're drinking piss. Accept it.

And you're eating poop.
Granted, the Earth does it in a grand way that you don't see it, but ...
Seriously, do you, or does something you yourself consume, eat plant matter? Where do you think plant matter gets it's vital nutrients? From poop.
And because the basic molecules still exist - unless there's something like an atomic reaction, you can't actually destroy the water molecule or the nitrogen involved - they tend to stick around. Which means it's possible you're drinking the pee from a long-dead Egyptian pharaoh or eating his poop.
Enjoy your salad, hamburger, and coke!
(No, I realize this isn't flood - it is, however, simple and basic biology.)

Cool Space Americans...
Regarding eating pee/poop...
I prefer to cut out the middleman.
