Japan scientist synthesizes meat from human feces to create poop burgers
Somehow this feels like a Vonnegut plotline: population boom equals food shortage. Solution? Synthesize food from human waste matter. Absurd yes, but Japanese scientists have actually discovered a way to create edible steaks from human feces.
Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory, has developed steaks based on proteins from human excrement. Tokyo Sewage approached the scientist because of an overabundance of sewage mud. They asked him to explore the possible uses of the sewage and Ikeda found that the mud contained a great deal of protein because of all the bacteria.
The researchers then extracted those proteins, combined them with a reaction enhancer and put it in an exploder which created the artificial steak. The “meat” is 63% proteins, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids and 9% minerals. The researchers color the poop meat red with food coloring and enhance the flavor with soy protein. Initial tests have people saying it even tastes like beef.
Inhabitat notes that “the meatpacking industry causes 18 percent of our greenhouse gas emissions, mostly due to the release of methane from animals.” Livestock also consume huge amounts of resources and space in efforts to feed ourselves as well as the controversy over cruelty to animals. Ikeda’s recycled poop burger would reduce waste and emissions, not to mention obliterating Dante’s circle for gluttons.
The scientists hope to price it the same as actual meat, but at the moment the excrement steaks are ten to twenty times the price they should be thanks to the cost of research. Professor Ikeda understands the psychological barriers that need to be surmounted knowing that your food is made from human feces. They hope that once the research is complete, people will be able to overlook that ugly detail in favor of perks like environmental responsibility, cost and the fact that the meat will have fewer calories.

I see this this as a new mod of transmission for previously rare diseases. Like prion diseases which are kinda like a infectious protein. You can't kill them without destroying the protein.
Doesn't sound like it is made not from actual raw shit, rather sewage mud.
plastic rice, shit burgers. Wonder what is next.

Meh it's all molecules. We're already eating processed shit. In fact we are processed shit. If it's safe it'd be highly irrational, not to say downright selfish, to discard a possible source of environmentally beneficial and cheap food.

Hmm you can use human waste to generate electricity from the methane, after that process it further to fertiliser instead of making meat out of it that looks like shit and none will buy.

This could really help some starving countries in Africa, some villages are already building huts out of shit and this could be the begging of a new trend, forks and knives made of shit, shit footballs and basketballs, shit barby dolls, maybe even shit cars and highways, they could become a unique tourist attraction "Welcome to our shitty country".

The main problem is the price, which is actually 10-20 times higher than common meat, and since probably nobody will eat this shit (literally speaking ) not even for free, I doubt that it will be as successful as they hope it to be

only an idiot would pay that amount for shit when beef costs the same (they said they wanted to make it same price)
like pistol said: diseases
Now if they could make a simple and pretty cheap device to do this with your own shit , barbeques would never be the same
