Title: S**t Burgers

Some hardcore carnivores have a hard time finding meat alternatives such as soy protein or tofu burgers to be palatable. But non-meat eaters may lose their appetite along with their carnivorous friends over this one – a meat alternative made from HUMAN EXCREMENT. Yep, you heard me correctly — Japanese scientist Mitsuyuki Ikeda has developed a “burger” made from soya, steak sauce essence, and protein extracted from human feces. Hit the break for a video explaining the process!

I honestly want to try to so I can say I have eaten a ****burger, except I can't tell anyone because they'll think I'm crazy

Well, Bear Grylls drinks his own pee, and many people drink recycled water from sewage; this is just the protein, not all of the feces. :P

Post by: StarSlayer on June 15, 2011, 08:24:55 pm: Well...

Because I think its a delicious conundrum. I am carnivorous maximus, mad vegan scientist makes **** burger out of my feces, isn't the end result still technically meat, just highly processed? That sounds more like recycling then vegetarianism.

Post by: Mustang19 on June 15, 2011, 08:30:21 pm: You still have to depend on other people to eat meat so you can eat protein out of their ****. So it's not vegetarian at all.

At least now we will be able to go on longer space expeditions, you just need a feaces concentrator/extractor to go twice as far! :p

I'm impressed by the human ability to turn **** into money. Literally.

First it was bricks to build houses, now it's food. That stinks.

Title: Re: S**t Burgers
Post by: Rodo on June 16, 2011, 08:35:04 am: we eat **** all the time, I doubt you all hold your breaths while in a public bathroom long enough to walk in, take a piss, wash your hands and walk out again.

yet, that they are actually making burgers out of that... man, they sure have lots of free time.

EDIT: ok, read the article and I can't help but to wonder if their source of "material" is from non-flesh-eating people, I must assume it is cause... that would actually make all the good points in this research null.

looking on the bright side on the other hand, long journeys on space are now more likely to happen, but for some reason less desirable (for me at least).

But honestly, with all the **** we've been producing, this might just help allieavate some of the food problems we have. Sure, most of those food problems are caused by infrastructure, but still...

**** is better used as fertilizer than being eaten directly. think about it, all this does is cut out the middleman, agriculture.

Post by: Black Wolf on June 16, 2011, 12:21:39 pm: Well... frankly, I'm surprised people are so surprised by this. If we don't get some solutions to the looming food crises (Peak phosphorous, arable land loss, etc. etc.) this may become very useful. In fact, depending on the associated energy budget, this may yet be standard practice 100 years from now.

Cloned beef still makes me squick a bit, but compared to this.... Call me old-fashioned, but I don't think I could ever get used to **** burgers.
