klingon 10 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 There's just something not right here Quote: This is a poopburger. As in, made from shit. I'm not even kidding, the Japanese extracted protein from human poop, mixed it with soya, added steak sauce and called it hamburger patties. Are you throwing up yet? Cause I did. Mitsyuki Ikeda, the mad scientist behind this foul mashup, says some people may have a psychological aversion to eating fake meat made from poop. I think he's wrong. ALL people will have a psychological aversion. Sure, we all make jokes that fast food burgers taste like crap but we still don't want to actually eat crap, dude. Ikeda, to his credit, created these poop burgers in an effort to be resourceful and recycle human waste. He realized if he could use "sewage mud", which is poop (you know you're in trouble when the euphemism of a word is just as bad as the word itself) and is everywhere, to formulate his burgers he could be completely efficient. Right now the burgers cost 10-20 times of regular meat because it factors in his research costs, the price will drop if there's enough demand. I never thought I had to ask this question but would you eat a burger made from poop? Link to post Share on other sites
Error404 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The price is putting me off. Maybe when the price comes down. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Well plenty of people eat natto which tastes like shit if you ask me so there may well be a good market for this stuff! Just tell people it's good for them and they'll eat pretty much anything. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 agree with you there.....not only does it taste like shit, it smells like shit and looks like a cross between shit n snot!! Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 An obvious difference being that natto is actually a food whereas poo is faecaes and comes out of bottoms. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Difference is I think I could perhaps force myself to eat natto. Link to post Share on other sites

charlotte 0 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I don't mind a bit of natto actually. Not on it's own though. I doubt I would be tempted by a poo burger! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 On that photo, it actually says "Shit Burger" on the packet. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Poo sounds so much more appealing than shit, don't you think? Link to post Share on other sites

That is actually not really creditworthy - misusing a resource that could be used at less cost in some other way that doesn't cause normal people to retch. Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Who would have ever thought that there would come the day when poo would be misused! Don't Misuse Feces! Dammit! Link to post Share on other sites
