Japanese scientist made meat out of feces. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/16/scientist-poop-burger-video_n_878210.html I'm sure there are better ways to engineer protein.
Meh, basically everything you eat came from animal shit somewhere along the way anyhow, this is just removing a few steps from the process. Recovering protein and nutrients from feces is actually not a bad idea, but the video is right--getting people past that psychological barrier is going to be tough.
As long as it's not contaminated with other nasty poop things, I don't see a problem with it. I probably wouldn't market it as a "poop burger," though.
That's a marketing nightmare anyways why not feed it to animals be much better then to humans?? but i guess we then will eat the animals who ate the human poo burger which means....... I'm confused now
Considering some japanesse porn why even bother with the whole meat making part. They're just gonna put it in their mouth anyway.
Eat recycled food! What the hell--they already make stationery out of elephant crap. I'd be willing to try a bumburger, at least once. So long as it had bacon and chese on it.
^ Exactly right. Sam Kinison did a bit where he call the McRib shit pressed into the form of meat. "McShit sandwich". I still call it that whenever I go get one.
People likely eat several pounds of poop a year anyway. Didn't the USDA actually have an allowance for how much fecal matter could be in fresh meat? That it's basically okay as long as it can't be seen by the naked eye?
Actually, when you look at some of the things that people already eat in places like Thailand, a turdburger doesn't seem all that outrageous. Every culture has its food taboos. One culture's delicious is another culture's disgusting. Except for the Thai. Apparently, they'll eat anything.
