Japanese Scientist Creates Meat Using Human Feces
Japanese scientists have found a way to create artificial meat using sewage containing human feces. The scientists claim that they have even created edible steaks from the biological concoction. Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory, lead the discovery after Tokyo Sewage approached him regarding an overabundance of sewage mud. Asked to explore the possible uses for the waste, Ikeda found that the mud contained a great deal of protein due to the high bacteria content.
The discovery led to the creation of steaks based on the protein from the excrement. The “meat” is 63% proteins, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids and 9% minerals. Scientists are hoping to roll out the meat for mass consumption, pricing it the same as actual meat in stores. Whether or not the public will accept the fecal meat, however, is another matter.

I wish I had not read this article. And to think hamburgers is one of my favorite foods. Guess I'd better become a vegetarian. This country is in big trouble
Hello,
this article reminds me of a manga (= japanese comics) titled "Bio Meat" or "Bio Meat Nectar"…
Making human waste into food is not only wrong, without any morals and evil but is cannibalism (like Soylent Green) as the waste will contain genetic material and DNA from the digestive tracts of their source! (note to the Japanese scientists in the article source means where it came from not to be confused with sauce which is a liquid or varying thickness to accompany a food item in case you try to broaden this experiment to urine)
Lets hope it does NOT have hormones, mercury, radiation, fluoride, ammonia, GMO, aluminium or anything else toxic and pray it is not infested with parasites and or their eggs and/or contain DNA.
