Researcher Creates Food From Human Feces
By Wyatt Earp | June 21, 2011
For once, you can say, “This food tastes like crap” and not offend anyone.
Japanese researcher Mitsuyuki Ikeda has come up with perhaps the greenest alternative to the livestock industry yet: he’s engineered fake meat from human feces. Ikeda’s artificial meat is made from extracting lipids and protein from “sewage mud,” combining these lipids with a reaction enhancer and putting the whole thing in an exploder to combine it. Steak sauce and soy sauce add saltiness and a dash of umami to the fake meat.
Ikeda notes that the “burgers” are low in fat and, because they don’t rely on livestock, won’t raise carbon emissions or waste. (H/T – Kim)
I guess eating your own crap will make you a favorite of the libtard green crowd.

McDonald’s has been doing it for years. Now that the secret’s out, the Hamburglar will now be known as the Turdburglar.

Well, if you think about it, this does cut out the middle man. I mean, it all turns into sh*t in the end anyway.

Reminds me of Judge Dredd. “Recycled food, it’s good for the environment and ‘OK’ for you”.

All snarking aside, it’s stuff like this that’s going to let us do long range space colonization if we ever decide to do it.
I’ll wait until we have warp drives or something though myself.

No problem, just wash it right on down with a cup of tinkle and then get a breath mint.
Now I have seen everything…

Will our bowels be regulated by the FDA now?
June 21st, 2011 at 10:17 pm
If we’re gonna be eating crap, doesn’t that make the FDA obsolete ?
But, being a Gov’t Agency, which has more staying power than any zombie, vampire or mummy known to man…..
My guess is that they’ll rate the crap….
ya know….Prime, pungent, extra smelly….
Cocoa Puffs always reminded me of rabbitt shit anyway.

If this stuff ever actually becomes available in the good ole USA…. the FDA should have to fly a white flag over their building.

Reminds me of the scene in Waterworld where Costner is in the middle of an ocean, so he’s filtering and re-drinking his own urine…

Wyatt:
Well, THAT settles it…!
SCRAPPLE just shot UP my list of foods I must have…LOL

Yeah, I like PA foods that have the word CRAP in the middle, but when it’s ALL crap?
Gotta draw that line somewhere, eh?
Stay safe out there.
