Japan Makes Burgers From Poop.

This is what a poopburger looks like.

Scientists in Japan are hoping to save the world from the destructive nature of meat production by taking that burger you ate last night, waiting a few hours, and feeding it back to you. Introducing the world’s first known burger made from human feces.

Mitsyuki Ikeda, has developed a way to extract the protein found in poop, mix it with soy powder, add a pinch of seasoning, and serve it up hot (again). He says the heat used to cook the poop kills all the bad bacteria so people don’t have to worry about getting sick but the psychological effect of eating poop will be hard to overcome. Go figure.

Right now Ikeda is selling the burgers but they cost 10-20 times more than a beef burger because of research costs. 

I’m glad people are concerned enough about meat’s impact on the environment to pay an absurd amount of money to eat a shit sandwich.

Watch this really neat video to see how poopburgers are born.
