Waiter, your food tastes like...

I'm just surprised it didn't taste like chicken, everything else you've never tried seems to...

Somehow this feels like a Vonnegut plotline: population boom equals food shortage. Solution? Synthesize food from human waste matter. Absurd yes, but Japanese scientists have actually discovered a way to create edible steaks from human feces.

Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory, has developed steaks based on proteins from human excrement. Tokyo Sewage approached the scientist because of an overabundance of sewage mud. They asked him to explore the possible uses of the sewage and Ikeda found that the mud contained a great deal of protein because of all the bacteria.

The researchers then extracted those proteins, combined them with a reaction enhancer and put it in an exploder which created the artificial steak. The “meat” is 63% proteins, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids and 9% minerals. The researchers color the poop meat red with food coloring and enhance the flavor with soy protein. Initial tests have people saying it even tastes like beef.

Well, if you read on, at least it's good for reducing greenhouse emissions. Then again, after you eat it, the emissions may increase...

SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!

Or in this case, their waste...

:Sick:

Poop meat? I wonder if the people who tasted the poop meat were paid or even knew what they were eating?

Gross out ahead:

I was reading a history of the battle of Stalingrad and they had interviews with the German prisoners after the battle who weren't given much to eat while in POW camps, they would strain their fellow prisoners feces and eat the undigested vegtable matter.

Talk about man's inhumanity to man.

Communist vegans, you just can't trust them. rofllol

Let Mikey try it...

The Japanese invaded Stalingrad? All along I thought it was the Nazis.

I suppose vegetarians could only eat the poop from other vegetarians.
