Eat shit!!!!!!!!!

[ABikerSailor]

And, I mean that literally...........

If you prefer your steak to be cooked rare, you may want to reconsider that choice after hearing about the latest advancement in food technology to come out of Japan: an edible steak made from human feces, reports Discovery News.

Take a moment to let that gag reflex subside. Now consider this: it's already been taste-tested, approved, and could eventually become a practical solution to sewage treatment. Someday "bowel burgers" may even provide an easy source of protein for the hungry.

The poop steaks were first envisioned by Japanese researcher Mitsuyuki Ikeda after he was approached by Tokyo Sewage to come up with a solution for the city's overabundance of sewage mud. Although "eating it" probably wouldn't have occurred to most people, Ikeda recognized that the mud was stocked full with protein-rich bacteria.

After isolating those proteins in the lab, Ikeda's team then combined them with a reaction enhancer and put them in an exploder. What eventually came out was no filet mignon, but it was edible.

"Theoretically, there's nothing wrong with this," said Douglas Powell, a professor of food safety at Kansas State University. "It could be quite safe to eat, but I'm sure there's a yuck factor there."

You know........it sounds kinda gross, but it's okay to eat, and could possibly solve a few problems we currently have.

Besides, you could probably use the methane the process generates to run the plant.

Nobody is interested in this?

Holy shit.... no pun intended

Wonder if they could be marketed under the name "Swamp Burgers"?

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "shit sandwich" eh?

If we're going to have a large-scale, long-term presence in space, we have to perfect this.

I have discussed this on another forum, and someone posted about the Japanese making poop burgers.
My reaction???
I'm making sure my happy ass never goes to Japan!
I think it's gross, makes me nauseous, and why.....why...would anyone care to eat shit??
What's it listed on the menu as...The Poop Burger??
Sometimes I swear.....the fucking Japanese, having to come up and publicly announce shit like this (no pun intended).
I'm not interested, no I'm not hungry- I'll pass Thanks *ugh*
