Not really a big deal. Its hardly that big a step from eating cow ass or vegetables fertilized with cow crap. Probably less nasty than whatever goes into ground meat.
 
You oppose animal-based nitrogen or dirty vegetables?
 
No, but maybe some soyient green.
 
The scientist himself says it's up to pricing - if they can price it competitively with real beef, it has a chance - otherwise it has no value. I got news for him, it can be priced almost free and it would have no value. Who exactly will be buying and eating human excrement synthesized beef when real beef is available? I can see it's use if perhaps a planet killer comet strikes the earth and kills 99% of all life on earth and that's the only thing left to eat - OR - if this is used in long space travel as a way to resynthesize food from excrement.

Otherwise, here on earth, in the present worlds condition, it's valueless.
 
they taught us in survival school that you can eat your own feces twice before it loses all nutritional value
 
Just going with the title of the link you posted......Suspect they are gonna have some challenges up front in the marketing arena.


(conversely, they probably aren't going to have to worry a lot about competition)

Hippies will gobble it up (no pun intended), cause "it's some good ****". :lol:
 
about like typical army chow :2razz:

I gotta say, chow lines were bad in BT. If I think real hard I can still taste it - but I won't do that out of self preservation.
 
It's not really any more disgusting than the way our meat is prepared now. Take a look at the conditions in which factory farm animals are raised, or look at the conditions in a slaughterhouse. Prepare to be repulsed.

My reaction highlights the different between the intellect and the affect.
 
going by the initial name of the thread I would say no. Understanding it is a protein extract, I probably would not care. I mean hell we eat much worse than a sewage protein extract.

The mind boggles that ANYONE has gone there even ONCE let alone twice!!

Actually, scientists are developing better ways to synthesize meat than this. They're actually going to stimulate it in a petri dish as it grows.

They can't synthesize steaks now because they can't do marble the meat with fat. So, more likely, they'll synthesize hamburger or ground meat first.

Here's an article on it and a podcast discussing it is on that page too.

Gives a whole new meaning to "pinching off a loaf".

And "stop spamming, you're making too much spam!" Well, maybe not whole new but something extra.

I found this on another forum, personally I say no way!!! not even if I were starving to death!

Japan scientist synthesizes meat from human feces - Yahoo! News

I think I would rather pick up some bugs off the ground and eat those than to eat meat made from ****. Yes I realize plants feed off **** and animals eat those plants but it is not the same thing. Besides that I can't picture meat made in a lab having any texture and if I wanted to eat meat with out any texture I would eat potted meat.
