I'd be eager to try one. Not in a weird way, or anything; I just wanna be able to say that I ate a burger made from shit.
I'm afraid Japan will get into gene splicing... I think I know exactly what they'll make first. Commercial tentacle monsters, anyone? Would be a hit, I'm sure.
What about hamburgers?believer258 said:
Ever eaten at KFC? Taco Bell? McDonalds? Ever eaten any meat product that was not labeled 'kosher'? Oscar Meyer luncheon meats, perhaps? A cheap hamburger patty at your school?
How much would you say you know about the food industry, do you figure?
How much do you know about the process by which a cow is transformed into your meal?
Are you aware of the conditions under which most beef cattle are slaughtered and rendered in this country?
(You don't happen to remember that Spongiform Encephilitis thing in England a bunch of years back, more colorfully known as "Mad Cow Disease", do you? Know what causes that?)
Did you know that the FDA permits a certain amount of rodent feces in your food before it considers it to be tainted?
Did you know that the FDA permits a certain amount of insect parts in your food also?
Did you know that that both of those amounts is more than "none at all"?
I am just saying, it's really great that you live in a culture where you have the option of saying "No thank you, i will not eat that, it looks gross" but not everyone does.
Also I am saying you have placed far worse things into your mouth than reprocessed human feces.
The boys back in marketing decided on Soylent Beef as the product name. you just read this in Cave Johnson's voice.
OT: I think it's a viable food source for people in Africa at least. I mean I'm not too sure what the food situation is in the more severe parts of Africa but if those donation appeals are anything to go by I'd say they'd be more than happy to be able to eat something nutritious for once.

I have to watch the video still, but considering the process, and consider it's safe to eat I mean... not?TheMagicIndian said:
Clearly after the process it's not poop anymore, it's something different.
I'd try it at least once, just a bite even.
EDIT: The alternative is made from cow muscles and fat. Sausages are the intestinable tubing of animal. Tarp is sheep stomach. For god sakes, it's all disgusting if you think about it.
I find it amusing that 90% of the people commenting seem to think that this is the grossest thing you could possibly eat. My roommate is a HUGE fan of that show Bizarre Foods. I've watched that guy drink cow blood, eat food that was cooked in a goat carcass, eat live and dead bugs, food that has gone rotten, snake bile, scrotum stew, ect. A shit burger is actually pretty tame, IMO.
Except there is ZERO urine or fecal matter in alcohol. Its "waste" product is booze. And god bless mother ethanol.soultrain117 said:
This isn't that much different from recycled water, which is used in more places than you would think.
Reminds me of the Doctor Who episode where the people under New New York were trapped on the roadway. Rose was offered one of these by, if I recall correctly, a couple of cat people.
