poop burger 1Somehow this feels like a Vonnegut plotline: population boom equals food shortage. Solution? Synthesize food from human waste matter. Absurd yes, but Japanese scientists have actually discovered a way to create edible steaks from human feces. Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory, has developed steaks based on proteins from human excrement. Tokyo Sewage approached the scientist because of an overabundance of sewage mud. They asked him to explore the possible uses of the sewage and Ikeda found that the mud contained a great deal of protein because of all the bacteria. The researchers then extracted those proteins, combined them with a reaction enhancer and put it in an exploder which created the artificial steak. The “meat” is 63% proteins, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids and 9% minerals. The researchers color the poop meat red with food coloring and enhance the flavor with soy protein. Initial tests have people saying it even tastes like beef. Inhabitat notes that “the meatpacking industry causes 18 percent of our greenhouse gas emissions, mostly due to the release of methane from animals.” Livestock also consume huge amounts of resources and space in efforts to feed ourselves as well as the controversy over cruelty to animals. Ikeda’s recycled poop burger would reduce waste and emissions, not to mention obliterating Dante’s circle for gluttons. The scientists hope to price it the same as actual meat, but at the moment the excrement steaks are ten to twenty times the price they should be thanks to the cost of research. Professor Ikeda understands the psychological barriers that need to be surmounted knowing that your food is made from human feces. They hope that once the research is complete, people will be able to overlook that ugly detail in favor of perks like environmental responsibility, cost and the fact that the meat will have fewer calories. Waste not; want not. Comment: You want flies, with that $#itburger?

This explains a lot about Japanese cuisine.
Come on, Shoonra. The Japanese have the cleanest, leanest, healthiest cuisine you can put on a plate. Notice how those folks all look healthy and have proper body weight proportional to their height. You don't see a lot of fat blobs walking around over there. They live a long time too.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.

Some posters have an almost comical talent for stepping in it.

This will make the phrase " Eat Shit and Die" reality. Those soy beans are deadly to humans.
ROFL!!! You beat me to it.

There is no truth to the rumor that the Congress will replace Food Stamps with S**t Burgers. However, they might go well with the Gulf of Mexico seafood we are serving the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and Libya and Yemen. We will pack some away for our boys when they arrive in Syria and Lebanon and Iran. They deserve the best S**t. Come tom think of it the AIPAC list of nations to invade is so long and will cost so much money we might just have to replace Food Stamps.

The American Congress has been doing the opposite for decades.

You mean, sumo wrestling stars?? The Japanese care more for pretty food than either tasty or nutritious food. For example, they put talcum powder on rice!
Puh-lease, Shoonra, you can do better than that. On second thought . . .

Note that the story may be a hoax, hacked into Yahoo News by perhaps an anti-meat crusader. Firstly, the "scientist's" name: Meat so yukee and I kid (y)a. I haven't gone through all of the million plus hits that Google brings up but the first dozen pages don't show any from mainstream or scientific media. Phrases like "reaction enhancer" and "exploder" are not normally words scientists would use for enzymes or processes. On the other hand it was an Alberta scientist that developed a process to salvage protein from bacterial waste in cheese making and its now sold as powdered whey. And when it comes to sending a manned spaceship to Mars there's probably no alternative but to "recycle."

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
