Japan creates the poop burger, solves world hunger

[Layzor]

Well I'll pass but then again I'm not a starving African.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Yes, you people clearly never had to face hunger.

PS: Take a look at the article. It is processed feces. No difference to McDonalds.

Oh don't get all sensitive, we're talking about a burger made from bacteria taken from shit. It's funny.

This could be a serious advancement in science though, really...

 

[Master_Fubar23]

Wow now thats a new low. Selling customers their own shit back(more or less). I can understand if they can get it into a processing line so they can ship it to third world countries for dirt cheap. Honestly, I think I could eat it if it tasted good but to have to buy it at the same price I can get normal meat is just dumb. It'd have to be at least half to a 1/4 of the price of normal meat for anyone to buy it. Realistically speaking of course.

 

[Aesthetical Quietus]

On the one hand, this is somewhat gross.

On the other hand, this DOES bring us one step closer to Star Trek's perfect recycling technology.

There's a saying, if you're hungry enough, anything tastes good.

Except for Dwarf Bread. Anything tastes good compared to that. Like old boots, raw sheep, or your own foot.

Sorry, Terry Pratchett fan. Couldn't resist.

Blast you! I was going to do that.
Hi-5 for that tho'.

On-topic, if I was hungry enough, yeps.

I would rather eat a nice bowl of sand.

At 1:34 it says shit burger on the fridge. Gave me a good laugh.

OT: If I didn't know it was made from poo, I'd probably eat it. But just knowing that what I'm about to put into my mouth had once existed inside of human rectum in some form would be enough to turn me off of it.

 

[Jonluw]

I think they were trying to say something, but I kept being distracted by his bloody silly pointing stick.
I mean, for the love of the gods. If you want to be taken seriously, don't use a pointing stick that has a hand comically attached to the end. Please.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

Sooo.. A Japanese scientist has created a burger made using human feces.
If it were from anywhere else apart from japan, i'd assume it was a joke..

but anyway, would you eat one of these? o,O
Im not sure i could, even if i was starving to death on a desert island... but you never know

EDIT: Its been pointed out that for people that might be too.. whatever to read/watch the above links:

OT

You might want to clarify for those who don't watch/read/have a brain that it is NOT made out of poop. It's made out of protein from bacteria for which poop is a suitable environment.

But still.. i dont think its any easier for people to get out of their heads that it comes from poop

One question: how do they taste? If they taste good, count me in.

 

[Irriduccibilli]

A feces burger. Nothing new here, we've had McDonalds for a while now... badum tssch

 

[Quaxar]

It is recycled human waste, not litterally a "poop burger".
By that logic astronauts drink their own piss...

I mean they do. Over and over again. But it still gets porufied before.

 

[Scott Guthrie]

brb while i throw up

OT: This is rather interesting...disturbing... but interesting

 

[Granny Smith 07]

I'd probably try it, no reason not to if it tastes exactly like beef and gets cooked properly

 

[somonels]

Americans make theirs out of paper napkins.

Contribute to society by going to your local public toilet.

 

[Fleaman]

What's the big deal? Everything you put in your mouth that isn't salt was, in likelihood, recently shit. We have a thing called a fucking energy cycle, you know? Plants use light to turn shit and carrion into plant bits, which cows eat and turn into animal bits. Except that it takes cows acres and acres of land to do this, while bacteria can do it in an oven.

 

[AdumbroDeus]

Feces has no nutritional value. All the nutrients have already been processed out leaving only the parts that can't be processed ie the useless crap

No, you're thinking of Urine, feces is unprocessed waste.


Also, it's not the feces itself, it's the bacteria IN feces.

 

[A Pious Cultist]

Eat shit and live.

Next week, we'll learn about how Japan has created a real tentacle monster.

There are already ancient paintings from the dynasties of women being 'hugged' by squids and octopuses from the sea.
I think they're all set.
