New Meaning to "Eat Shit"

Somehow 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.

Just... eat shit! :blink:

* scratches head*..you went all the way to Japan to learn this??..:twitch:

OKKKKKKKK Im all for saving the environment, & feeding the hungry. But I think I would draw the line at this idea.

GROSSSSSS. I'm gaging right now just thinking about it.

The Yes Men did a prank about this idea a few years ago:

[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RRDLzxFXjY"]YouTube - ‪"EAT SHIT AND LIVE"‬&rlm;[/nomedia]

You know, on Star Trek: Enterprise, that is what they were doing when they were talking about eating "reconstituted protein".

The future is here!

Im all about saving when I can. But thats just gross.

I'm sorry but that's just f'n nasty! I don't care what it looks like, I aint eating "reconstituted" shit! :seeingstars:

The whole idea of eating bugs for protein is looking better and better. :floatbee:

NOW HANG ON JUST A MINUTE THERE! :annoyed:

Okay, I admit that I ate the occasion boogie as a wee one, but I'm drawing the line at solid waste.

:blink:

Just thinking of how many salads I'd be tossing eating one steak alone is pretty icky.

:wtf:

Um...yeah. I have only one word for this: ewwwwwwwwwwwwww...............................

this is taking recycling to a "hole" new level.

:eatinghersheybar:

I think the space station recycles human waste and the astronauts eat and drink it......

I miss Tang speaking of astronauts.

I just vomitted in my mouth a little..There needs to be a green vomit smiley for sure!!!

I am going to create a special BBQ sauce for these steaks...

I will be a millionaire!

This is exactly where my mind went with this- Star Trek!! GMTA!!

I have a weak stomach and this just doesn't go over well...

This is one way to get me to stop eating meat. I wonder if they can make cigarettes out of it too.....that will also make me stop smoking.

Seriously tho, aside from the gross factor, what about feces born diseases, medications excreted this way, and just the effects of all those chemical processes?

Kind of reminds me of the movie "Soylent Green" with Charleton Heston. Could that be next?
For sure I would become a vegetarian if I dont know what "food" is being reconstituted!!!

I'm wondering if this will give me the ability to talk "shit" better !!:sunglass:
