POOP BURGER: Japanese Researcher Creates Artificial Meat From Human Feces

Sometimes science and technology can go too far in the wrong direction imo. This is a one example:

POOP BURGER: Japanese Researcher Creates Artificial Meat From Human Feces

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 Mitsyuki 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!

The meatpacking industry causes 18 percent of our greenhouse gas emissions, mostly due to the release of methane from animals. The livestock industry also consumes huge amounts of feed and water in relation to the amount of meat that it yields, and many find the industry to be inhumane and cruel to animals. These factors alone are reason enough for vegetarians to replace their meat intake with vegetable proteins and legumes. But Ikeda, a scientist at the Environmental Assessment Center in Okayama, sought to further the field of alternative proteins by recycling a form of protein-rich waste : sewage mud.

And of course there is a video.....

The only comment that pops up is;

Soylent brown is Crap!

Well well what's next humans? I believe this is the first step toward eating biscuits and other food products made from humans

All I can say is that if this is the "new artificial meat" that is going to be pushed in the future, I
am going to have to become a vegetarian.....

Two Asians one burger?

OK this is an insult..a crapburger* thats insulting. Other night, i was watching the yes men* remember them? in an episode, they dressed up as 2 business guys, hired by MCdonalds..at a university. they handed out hamburgers, then proceeded to talk about how NASA had found the human body only absorbs 20% of hte meat proten,t he rest is discarded lol. they showed a computer model of a woman, doing the number 2, and it traveeld down lengthy pipes, makred with the M of mocdonalds every so often, then o a sunday ice cream machine or something, n re squirted on a bun* they were promoting how USA has all the money, and this was an econoic option for 3rd world countrys to recycle food* some thier threw earth globes at them, and they all pretty much found it insulting...it is to us all.

Eat recycled food. It's good for the environment and okay for you!

One applaud to the first one to u2u me with the correct answer, what is that line from?

I bet the person who signed up to be a 'blind' taste tester got pissed after seeing this video.

If this is the case, might as well just squat in your hand n mucnh on what comes out* sorry, dont mean to sound sick too you all...but its what this is, minus the squating in your hand* even the devil, SATAN himself, would disregard logs of human feces for christ sakes!!

Eww, reminds me of this:

Is owebowmao an investor? He and his cohorts have been feeding us crap for years now.

OK, It's official.
I just lost my dinner.
Don't do that again.

How disgusting.

But there was an article on ATS
a few months back which showed
a Prison in Brazil which used their
feces to generate enough electricity to
run their prison.

Our electricity and now our food,
me thinks my stomach can't handle
the future

We have a winner!

Yes, nasty as the idea may be it is not exactly new.
Perhaps truth is stranger than fiction, especially when fiction is more blurred these days.

Made with 100% recycled meat. Ugh.

Soylent meat is made by Americans.
For Americans.
Proudly made in the the USA.
Poop.

I doubt anyone would ever eat this thing. I would suggest they learn how to make it survival food. Let's face it, if you are stuck without any food and you didn't know where the food came from, this might taste good.

Hey good catch! I missed that in the first viewing

I'm still waiting for that movie to become reality, along with Demolition Man. Where Taco Bell is a classy restaurant, so far that hasn't panned out.


As far as poop food, eh, it doesn't seem all that bad in theory. So long as you're not the one eating it.

EEEWWWW!

Is a second line really needed?

reply to post by boncho


Yes and if pooburgers are the norm in the future, then taco bell is by far classy food. Considering that it is not recycled yet...



That and idiocracy seem to be where the future may lead if changes are not made. Of course, if that is the way of the future, then ShadowRun should be the black market world, in which case there may be a future for me as well.

Something tells me Mitsyuki Ikeda is Japanese for Marco Villanova.

Though, it's only the protein extracted from human waste. Not that it makes it any less disgusting. We thought lead in our products from China was bad....
