Via Digital Trends: Japan scientist synthesizes meat from human feces
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.

Will the two years I spent working at a municipal sewage treatment plant count as credit at Le Cordon Bleu?

I’m surprised no one has done this yet, maybe too obvious.
“You tell everybody. Listen to me, Hatcher. You’ve gotta tell them! Soylent Brown is FECAL! We’ve gotta stop them somehow!”

Along these line, I keep thinking of this:

Theory:
This is some sort of PETA political thing. If you think about it, we fertilize corn with manure, then feed it to cows, when we then eat. So you could argue that in a sense we already eat beef made from feces, albeit indirectly.
So I wouldn’t be suprised if after this sloshes around in the news for a bit, they come out with a follow up along the lines of “if you thought that was disgusting, that’s how real beef is made”.

Looking on google, using processed sewage sludge to produce animal feed is an increasingly common agricultural practice. So again, I think this may be the warm up for an attack on animal farming.

I think it’s a joke. Someone is just trying to get us to do research and buy in to it. They wouldn’t do that to their own country. They would love to see us do it to ours.
