I would never be psychologically prepared to eat [censored].

Ahh, Fox News, broadcasting all sorts of crap.
Now people can truthfully say : " Yuck!! This burger tastes like [censored]!"

Also, Old Andy made me laugh so hard I choked on my cappucino.

Doesn't seem very efficient, really. Obviously it wouldn't be a perfect cycle since the materials our body uses are not then flushed out, so we'd still need to be eating mostly "normal" food to survive. How many resources are being consumed to convert it into an edible form, compared to resources spent on cows? Is it really a "waste" of this material, considering that this stuff is food for microorganisms and a source of minerals for plants (i.e. fertilizer) that helps fuel the later parts of the cycle that provide us with food?

I don't really see this becoming necessary or widespread outside of some kind of emergency starvation measure.

What might seem weird to us is perfectly normal to them.

Weird is weird, mein fraund.

"Soylent Brown is fecal....oh, god, it's fecal....."

This is why I dislike the Japenese.........

Well then, I suppose we'll need something to drink with this won't we now? :whistling:

Anybody up for a nice warm glass of lemonaid?

I've hear of the phrase "This is a giant [censored] sandwich and we all are going to have to take a bite, cause [censored] sandwich taste great"...but this is a load of burger. At least it gives to the meaning of "Eat [censored] and die"!

Calling Japan weird would be an understatement.

Are you SURE that was cappucino?!

I know somebody who isn't going to eat a burger again... :sick:

Japan's always been notorious for its weird stuff, but this.... This is unfrigginbelieveable.

Really? You dislike an entire race of people because of the actions of one crazy scientist.

I seriously doubt he was being completely literal. It's just that they are... renowned for being... odd.

Am I one of the only guys that thinks this is pretty friggin' cool? I mean, if it doesn't taste bad and its not bad for you, who cares? I'd be totally fine with eating a turd-burger. People eat weirder things on a daily basis. Go Japan, sometimes its easy to forget how creative you guys are when every once in a while we get a urinal game or something like that.

I dont care what they do to it to make it safe, tasty, and nutritious there are some things humans should NEVER EVER eat...and the stuff that comes out of your behind is one of them.

Where's Suffca? Can we get crap burgers animal style?

Correct me if I'm wrong, aren't all the men either samurai or scientists and all the women schoolgirls? Are you telling me anime is wrong?

» Wed Jun 22, 2011 6:36 am

I have the hardest time believing this story.

besides, the Yes Men totally ninja'd those japanese scientists by proposing this idea at WTO conventions as a politicall prank. EDIT: they did that at least 5 years ago.

No, that's absolutely accurate. Anime would never lie to you.

hey when in rome... or in the vault I should say.

Why is this news? This has been experimented with for two years now. This is not really different from stuff we already have, by the way. Except for the "waste" part, which really doesn't matter since you could get the protein from anywhere. Synthetically put together meat and imitation cheese are already in widespread use.
