Japan scientist synthesizes meat from human feces

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.

Inhabitat notes that “the meatpacking industry causes 18 percent of our greenhouse gas emissions, mostly due to the release of methane from animals.” Livestock also consume huge amounts of resources and space in efforts to feed ourselves as well as the controversy over cruelty to animals. Ikeda’s recycled poop burger would reduce waste and emissions, not to mention obliterating Dante’s circle for gluttons.

The scientists hope to price it the same as actual meat, but at the moment the excrement steaks are ten to twenty times the price they should be thanks to the cost of research. Professor Ikeda understands the psychological barriers that need to be surmounted knowing that your food is made from human feces. They hope that once the research is complete, people will be able to overlook that ugly detail in favor of perks like environmental responsibility, cost and the fact that the meat will have fewer calories.

Waste not; want not.

So I guess I can stop making fun of people when they're eating and they say this shit taste so good.

Just wait till they make it into a paste and put it in Chicken Nuggets.

*brndck* · 06-18-2011, 01:35 PM

well since they already don't label food to make people aware that a major portion of what you eat has been genetically modified, i wouldn't be surprised if this starts slipping in to supermarkets, once the cost is reduced.

ronmcdon · 06-18-2011, 02:43 PM

Idk about the Japanese (they are just weird, and already have restaurants serving ppl poop),
but good luck with this working anywhere else in the world where there isn't starvation.
nobody else is going to put up with such a disgrace of eating poop.

it's a commendable effort, but ultimately impractical.

lflkajfj12123 · 06-18-2011, 03:45 PM

stoked

towlie · 06-18-2011, 04:12 PM

Impractical? With the world population booming exponentially every year, how do you think the planet is going to support all the human life on this planet? When real steak gets stupid expensive, here's your cheaper alternative.

Would i eat it? Fuck no, not if I can help it. If tomorrow the planet gets hit by a fucking asteroid and wipes out all the plants and animals off the planet, then I might just consider it in a couple of months after eating human carcasses. I'd eat you first before I eat your poop.

KiLLeR2001 · 06-18-2011, 04:22 PM

Protein is protein is protein.

It is impractical now.

As per the article, it's not an affordable alternative.
There are a lot more readily available sources of nutrition, such as insects.

The rest of the world may have it's own issues, and I can honestly care less.
Most of us live in a place where meat & veggies are readily available.
We don't have any practical reason to seek out a higher cost alternative.
We don't have any reason degrade ourselves to such lows.

It is also impractical to consider the doomsday scenarios you so mentioned.

But hey, if you're so inclined, don't let me get in the way of you eating shit & enjoying your 'end of the world' delusions.

KiLLeR2001 · 06-18-2011, 05:16 PM

If they can change piss water into purified water, then why not turn poop into meat?

HalveBlue · 06-18-2011, 05:25 PM

And I thought Jesus's whole turning water into wine thing was amazing...

K_style · 06-18-2011, 05:37 PM
