Japanese Researcher turns Human Feces into an Edible Burger

[PeregrinFig]

I totally read that as "Human Faces". It's weird either way, but still.

Shit Burger

I have yet to see the video (my browser is in a bit of a shields up state right now) but my main question is what is the energy efficiency of this (I am reminded of the ages old thought experiments concerning irreversible reactions) and I am going to want to see some industrial scale plans drawn up and I should probably raise a question along the lines of what about the existing infrastructure that already uses such materials.

And just like that I'm now a vegetarian.

Because you would love to try it? ^^

It would shurely doesnt taste that bad but thinking on what you eat would made it bad.... I wouldnt eat that.

I agree with this. Vegetarians normally stand to make a point, eating food inspired by and designed to get the closest to the death and consumption of animals just seems hypocritical to the worst degree.

Not really. As long as you don't eat meat you make your point. You're effectively boycotting the meat industry and what it stands for and boycotting whatever you find ethically wrong with it. I don't really see anything hypocritical about it. If I said "MEAT IS MURDER" and threw red paint on people after I had a nice meal at McDonald's that'd be hypocritical.

That'd be like me boycotting the movie industry and going out to play games based on those movies.
It doesn't work if you speak out against something, and then indulge in a result of that something.

Get ready for "Two girls, one burger."

If people were to exist on a diet mainly made up of this....for lack of a better term: reprocessed food,
and they were continually adding to the food pool.
(okay, that's disgusting terminology)
how long would it take for there to be absolutely no nutritional value in the 'meat'?

Cannibalism before Poopalism.


"I'll have a McArm, thank you."
"Why a McArm instead of a McPoo burger? You look hungrier than I do. You keep it."

PeregrinFig: I read it as Human Faces, too.

Nobody eats only meat though. And I bet you'd be adding more stomach lining and other stuff than you'd think.

Fay and gake, McDonalds did it first

You've never met my dad. He shuns almost anything that grows in the ground on the basis "he doesn't eat rabbit food".
He exists on fried chicken and hamburgers. Don't really see how...or why he does it.

But you make a good (and further disgusting) point that I hadn't considered.

That's not really a valid example. These "imitation meats" aren't a product of "animal slaughter" (for lack of a better word) which is what most moral vegetarians oppose.

My gosh, exactly the same as my aunt.

I don't mind going vege, actually.

I've known people like. But I bet he has fries, bread, sugary stuff. And all drinks I can think of are plant based and still have some nutritional content, even if just barely.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

@cwstjdenobs: True. Lots of fries, onion rings, Coca-cola, cheese.
Just nothing green.

If it wasn't for the slaughter of animals, and use of said animals for much testing, the manufacturer wouldn't know what meat tasted like, been able to imitate it, or sell it as imitation meat.

 

[SuperMarioMaster]

That's WORSE than soylent green!

 

[gloweyjoey]

This seems like something you would see on The Onion.

I dunno, some things don't seem right, like the fridge labeled "SHIT BURGERS" in English.

 

[machomuu]

So long as less animals have to die to feed the overindulgent animals that are humans, I'm fine with it.

 

[Sterling]

I can see this taking off in a disaster area. Last resort type stuff. If what they say is true about the nutritional content, and the taste, then it shouldn't sit any different. If there's one thing the Human race is bad about it's the turned nose syndrome. We eat tons of shit every day, but as soon as we know what it is, we turn our noses up at it. Regardless of the benefits of the food.
