I don't know if that was joking or what, but...
That's not true. Please don't spread misinformation.

Uh. I don't get how they could maintain "quality." Wouldn't it be completely dependent on what the fecal matter was composed of (aka what the people in particular ate)?

LOL at 1:35 the fridge they keep the burger is labeled as :Shit Burger" So so so funny

Star Trek replicators work this way, so this is definitely a step in the right direction.
Going to need a lot of pioneers like Bear Grylls to work out the kinks though.

This sounds uncannily similar to Biomeat though... :o I thought the very same thing, hope things don't go THAT out of hand

The only way I could eat that is if was a COMPLETE last resort. I would eat grass and tree's before i munched on that.
|
who would fund this research?
|
Although it seems that no normal person would purposely buy and eat this meat substitute, I can imagine some shady meat companies sneaking this substitute into their meat products as a cost-saving initiative. Perhaps this feces-meat may be sold in poorer countries as legitimate food, assuming that the cost of production is low enough.

I would never eat another humans shit, I don't care how many times it's been filtered and cleaned. YOU can forget it!
It reminds me of how humans in space recycle their urine, but at least it's THEIR OWN urine.
Sorry science...I can't get behind this one.

It could lead to a wide variety of flavors and new jobs at the shit factory!
Why pay for an expensive steak with an awesome cocoa rub??? They could have some kind of willy wonka shit, stuff you full of chocolate and laxatives and farm it out on the other end.
Pecan Poo! Dingleberry Delight!!! Shitacki Shit!!!

Thanks for making my day :p

Meat is also proteins, etc etc, .. Where it came from does not matter. A set of molecules is NOT equal to shit. The waste products from feces that can't be used are not mixed up in this artificial meat, so I'd be gladly to eat a food source that gives me the energy I need. It's recycled food and I think it's awesome.
|
It looks good lol but the fact that it used to be shit is......idk T_T but i would still try it :D
|
If I don't have to know, who cares? If it is exactly the same protein and chemical basis as meat... it is meat. So wouldn't care.
|
sign me up id love to eat it
|
yea.. it's the proteins extracted from it, not actually poop. do note that everything we eat and drink is pretty much recycled from something at one point -_-
|
|
Gonna say no. I know its not technically feces anymore but i dont think i could let go of the fact i was once feces.
|
... how would you figure this out.
were those scientists like... hmm, I really want to eat a turd, lets make it happen?
one of the most useless discoveries in scientific history IMO, unless in the future 98% of all life is gone.
