EAT SHIT!

[Hatake Kakashi]

No, really. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20110617/sc_livescience/steakmadefromhumanexrementisitsafe;_ylt=AsiTQ_RwKe bRJdJqHkagzYcXIr0F;_ylu=X3oDMTQ1aWhvdTE3BGFzc2V0A2 xpdmVzY2llbmNlLzIwMTEwNjE3L3N0ZWFrbWFkZWZyb21odW1h bmV4cmVtZW50aXNpdHNhZmUEY2NvZGUDdG9wZ21wdG9wMjAwcG 9vbARjcG9zAzkEcG9zAzkEc2VjA3luX3RvcF9zdG9yaWVzBHNs awNzdGVha21hZGVmcm8-)

Apparently, when told to do something with the massive amounts of sewage at their disposal, some researchers in Japan thought, "Huh... LET'S EAT!"

I'm not even going to try to figure out what was going through their heads when they decided upon this course of action. What I'd like to know is how they found someone willing to taste-test this shit, or if they even bothered to tell them.

"Theoretically, there's nothing wrong with this," Powell said. "It could be quite safe to eat, but I'm sure there's a yuck factor there," he said.

I'm sure there's a yuck factor there

yuck factor

Umm, no shit?

Soylent brown is people

[Hatake Kakashi]

Soylent brown is people

Oh shit... I almost just fell out of my chair there. Well done, sir.

Well done as in your comment, mind you. I won't order the shit even if it is well done.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Not any more disgusting than any of the other stuff we eat.

[Hatake Kakashi]

Not any more disgusting than any of the other stuff we eat.

I would say it is, but now I'm curious... what exactly do you make a habit of eating, SMB?

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Do you eat apples or hard candy? That's got lots of beetle shit in it.
Do you drink energy drinks? Most of them have plasticisrs in them.
Egg powder is animal bile. Cheese is full of wood pulp.
Lots of artificial colours are mashed up beetles- like the whole beetle.
Eat anythign with added flavours? If itsnatural its generally some horrible animal innard. If it's artifical its just a mixture of nasty horrible chemicals.
Prettym uch everything we eat has some terrifying ingredient somewhere.

[Melfice]

Not personally, but people have been known to eat fish shit.
Also, monkey brains.
Drinking snake-blood, tapped from a live snake. Sometimes they put noodles in it.
Dogs.
One would assume also cats.

Then again, you might argue that dogs and cats simply constitute meat.

[Fifthfiend]

Not personally, but people have been known to eat fish shit.

They also pay money to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, it's not like it makes that any less disgusting.

[Melfice]

... I have no idea how I mixed up those words.
With shit, I meant ovaries.

I mean, I really don't know how that happened.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Fish ovaries is just caviar. Rich people eat it.Must be good.

[Seil]

It's Japan.

[Hatake Kakashi]

Yet more on the process. (http://www.infiniteunknown.net/2011/06/15/shit-burger-japanese-researcher-creates-artificial-meat-from-human-feces-video/)

I just wonder when the rest of the world's gonna catch on. We soon shall see new franchises, with their flagshit offering, the McShitty with Cheese.

[Bells]

So... some guys in japan saw 2 girls 1 cup and went "What is the science behind THAT?!" and then... "let's find out!"

I guess "disgusting" is relative. But, relatively speaking, I would say no. It is definitely more disgusting than anything I've ever eaten.

[Osterbaum]

It's perfectly ok to eat shit. A lot of wasted nutrients in scheisse. A lot of other species eat their own excrements.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Plants are basically full of shit.

[Hatake Kakashi]

It's perfectly ok to eat shit. A lot of wasted nutrients in scheisse. A lot of other species eat their own excrements.

As far as I was aware, the ones with thumbs generally threw it, not ate it.

[Locke cole]

All water is extremely likely to be refined urine.

[Ecks]

Not half as good as eating fetuses. But you're not rich enough to eat those. It's all the rage with Fortune 500 CEOs now.

[Bob The Mercenary]

Bob Dole approves of fetus eating.

[Locke cole]

As does Jeff Probst.

I swear, every season, it's somewhere on the "eat THIS disgusting thing" challenge's menu.

[Ryong]

It's perfectly ok to eat shit. A lot of wasted nutrients in scheisse. A lot of other species eat their own excrements.

These species generally have a digestive system specially tailored for this - like, I think it's a rabbit or something that poops then eats it then poops again and ignores that one.

[Krylo]

Well SCIENCE is acting as our specialized poop digesting system in this case.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Those damn scientists need to keep out of my foods!

[Hatake Kakashi]

Those damn scientists need to keep out of my foods!

Indeed. Only the finest unrefined shit for Smarty.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Shit is full of nutrients. Processed foods are all mostly fillers. No nutrients. Mmmm nutrients.

[Osterbaum]

So what you're saying is "Mmmm shit."

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I'mr eally thinking I have to come around each and every one of your houses and point out what is in the food in your cupboards. Unless you pull your own food out of the ground and carve up a cow every night for your dinner. In which case you are probably alright.
It's just poop. We're not Victorians anymore.

And like I'm not going to eat the raw shit, it going to be cooked and processed into say a yummy biscuit or a delectable cracker.

This could be a TV Show on cable

[Ecks]

Yeah, it'd be called "Shit on a Shingle: a Feast of Fecal Foods" and it'd be on the Food Network 24 hours a day.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Man who do I need to talk to? It'll be cheap to make too. I work for cigarettes and booze.
