Japan scientist synthesizes meat from human feces

[CBGLuthier]

I thought High Fructose Corn Syrup was bad.

I thought the origin of Soylent Green was horrifying.

But this, this is just too much.


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.

1. The plutonium from the Fukashima Nuclear plant sounds waaaaaay more appetizing!

...I think us vegetarians are exempt from eating sythesized poop that originally came from carnivores. Thank God!!!

[meow2u3]

2. According to a Yahoo poster:Arg! It's Soylent Brown!

Now I've really lost my appetite. There is no way in hell I'll ever think about eating that shit!

How are they going to push this crap on unsuspecting buyers? What are they going to call it? That's what I want to know so I don't end up eating shit and dying.

[Richardo]

3. Funny, I do the exact opposite

:rimshot:

[Iggo]

7. Ba-dump, pshh!!!

B-)

[snooper2]

4. This would be a great substitute for vegetarians

:P

[Ikonoklast]

26. Why, are you bored with eating vegetarians?

Can't believe that they taste worse than poop.


:puke:

[pink-o]

35. As a vegetarian, let me be the first to say that second-hand protein

from the crap of carnivores will probably not be on our list of acceptable food substances!:puke: :puke: :puke:

[RebelOne]

36. Yep, this vegetarian agrees. n/t

[Bake]

5. I believe the phrase is "Eat shit and die."

That is just too gross for words.

:hi:

Bake

[meow2u3]

31. 'Eat shit and die' is right!

This guy took it just a bit too literally. :puke: :eyes: :crazy: :scared: :dilemma:

edit: grammar correction

[geardaddy]

6. At first glance of your title...

I thought it said "Japan scientist synthesizes meat from human FACES"

:scared:

But either way, it's horrifying.

[Zephie]

8. I think I'd be more inclined to eat that than the actual product

At least there would be actual meat that you could identify in it!

[geardaddy]

10. lol

You're right.

[Blue-Jay]

9. And here I thought natto was bad.

[geardaddy]

11. I love that kind of stuff.

I love fermented bean paste.

[EnviroBat]

12. 1:34, the cabinet he's opening says "Shit Burger"...

Let this genius eat shit...

[retread]

13. This??

[nolabear]

14. No. Just...no.

[mysuzuki2]

15. This is actually nothing new.

McDonalds has been doing this for years!

[muriel_volestrangler]

16. It's on the menu for the Mars astronauts

You know it has to be.

[jmowreader]

17. Oh my...

The Japanese have been doing all sorts of goofy shit with human waste for years. During World War II, someone found out the proteins in human hair could be extracted and turned into a reasonable-enough facsimile of soy sauce, so the soybeans could be eaten rather than turned into condiments. It was banned immediately after the war, but someone in China was caught doing it a couple years ago.

This is another thing altogether...the ads just write themselves, don't they? "Hey! This DOESN'T taste like shit!"

[NewJeffCT]

18. now the human centipede can become reality

:hide:

[idiotgardener]

19. People who eat meat are already eating feces

It's on the meat you buy from the filthy conditions at the farm.

I'd think that eating human feces would be a step up from that.

[meow2u3]

32. The ones who get sick from E. Coli already ate poo

That's because the meat slaughterers didn't remove all the bullshit from the carcass, leaving them with a bum steer (puns intended, and bad ones at that).
:silly:

[Countdown_3_2_1]

20. "Honey, This is the best shit you've ever set on the table!"

I just can see myself complimenting my wife poop cooking skills.
"Honey, the things you can do with poop is amazing."

[Countdown_3_2_1]

21. a Joke...

Wife comes to hotel with really cheap Tex Mex take-out.
Husband: "Hey! There's shit in your taco!"
Neighbor on other side of wall: "Turn her over!"

Ya know we won't have to worry about the dog begging for scraps...

And its only a matter of time before do-it-yourself-kits show up in survivalist magazines.

[Tabasco_Dave]

22. I've had some burgers that tasted like shit before

38. M-m-m-m, gushi bars -- bring on the wasabi........... that is all. n/t

[JanMichael]

39. No different from most "meat" that US people eat. What's the problem?

There is shit on spinach and damn near everything for fucks sake! Eat shit and diet.

Pluss there is always the omni-present bad death enzymes in all factory produced "meat".
