Japanese Scientists Create Edible Doo Doo Steaks

June 18. 2011

When I think science, I have inspiring thoughts of diseases being cured. Not people making burgers out of poo. However, Japanese scientists have done just that. They've synthesized excrement, making steak out of doo doo. I'm at a loss for words. A "turd burger." Really, now. I've heard of pooh sticks, not poo steaks. 

I'm all for recycling, but not like this. I think I'll pass on this one. I would also hate to be on the marketing team trying to come up with the ad plans for it. And to think people are complaining about Ronald McDonald, when this was looming.

Most people have had a few meals in their lifetime and left the table figuratively thinking it tasted like doo-doo. But for the first time, they would not be exaggerating. I don't know how anyone could swallow such a thing, when in the back of their mind, they knew where it came from (the back of their butt). What's for dessert? toilet paper?

Side Bar: On a somewhat related note, did you know it was discovered, Al Qaeda members found out if you eat your poop, you'll die (yes, geniuses, I know). To avoid torture, this became an option for them when Dick Cheney was Vice President and George W. Bush was in charge.
