I would drink urine, but I wouldn’t eat shit.:eek:
Why not? The video says it tastes like beef. Sounds okay to me. I liked the soy-ish burgers in school lunches, I imagine this is pretty similar.
The only issue is that it has to be cooked to a high temperature to kill the bacteria. I’d be loath to have one prepared by a non-chef, for that reason. And in general I prefer my meat medium. Pooburgers would have to be well-done every time. But yeah, I’d try one if they were around here.
It’s definitely an innovative technique. GREAT science. It may turn out that technology like this is what enables humanity to keep growing while still feeding everybody.
Yes. I eat at Burger King at least twice a week.
I voted “Sure, why not? What’s the big deal?” but I’m not actually that cool about it. It would actually be a bit of a pride thing. I tell everyone I’m the least picky eater they’ll ever meet. Apart from a very few ethical exceptions, I’ll eat anything that’s food. I’d be disappointed in myself if I refused a burger just because it happened to be made from human excrement.
It’s not in principle different, though – a couple of chemical reactions applied to shit to make food. Think of a cow eating the grass that was fertilized by her own dung – same thing, essentially: our burgers already are shit burgers. Few people have qualms about drinking refined sewage water, too.
And dammit, I wanted to be the one to make the ‘I’ll have the #2 with fries’-pun…
