It takes the saying waste not, want not, to a whole new level.

A Japanese scientist has developed a 'meat' burger made out of human excrement.

Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory, came up with the novel approach to number ones after Tokyo Sewage asked him to come up with a way of using up the city's waste.

Flushed with success? Mitsuyuki Ikeda with his edible excrement concoction
Mr Ikeda found that the poo which filled up the system was packed with protein because of all the bacteria.

His research team extracted the proteins to create an artificial steak, which is turned red with food colouring and flavoured with soy.

In a YouTube video posted recently he explained: 'We add reaction enhancer and put it in the exploder to produce the artificial meat.'

It is made up of 63 per cent protein, 25 per cent carbohydrates, three per cent lipids and nine per cent minerals.

But how has it gone down with the public? Well the team claims that in initial tests people reported it was delicious and tasted like beef.

And despite its unusual origins, the scientists argue that the new patties are far kinder to the environment as cattle create such a huge amount of greenhouse gas emissions.

The 'meat' is currently 10 to 20 times more expensive that your average beef burger due to research costs, however Professor Ikeda hopes to bring costs down over time.

He added that the 'green' credentials of the poo pate would help consumers to overcome any 'psychological barriers' they might have.

That is disgusting, now i have to second guess every burger patty i eat. I guess this is part of the push to turn people into vegetarians.

It is frikking amazing. If he can make it economical, then it would be a great breakthrough.

Isn't it better to directly process the poop into a food source rather than using the poop as fertilizer for crops, which you then feed to cows (which you then eat)?

Direct conversion is a lot more environmentally friendly. . . less pressure on the environment for every pound of protein you want to produce.

Heck, you don't have to eat it directly yourself, you can use it as dog food or fish feed if you like (if he handles the poor economics, that is)

Break through for who?

Have you gone to Ondo recently (this is me indirectly asking you how many leaves of ganja you might have  smoked).

Who exactly will eat anything that has once been pushed out of the anus, converted or not? Not to talk of the disgusting nature of this, but should we ignore the side effects it might bring just because it's "environmentally friendly"?

Have the same cows been genetically stable since we started feeding them foods that were originally abnormal in their food diets (such as corn, etc)? I'd rather the cow eat the converted poop than have it directly consumed by me.

BTW, How do we decide on whose poop food will be synthesized? People with/out genetic abnormalities such as HIV/AIDs, Cancer etc or just "healthy" humans like you and I?

This is like licking up your vomit.
