Whether it comes from poop or a protein derived from poop, I'm going to say hella-no. I have limits, and eating something that derives in any way from fecal matter is one of them.

Well, if I was starving to death I don't think I'd even care to ask what it was I was being given, but in day to day life I would beable to eat that. Though i do think that it is amazing that someone has done this, I'm just not sure what kind of amazed I am
haha, no i didnt mean your joke was unethicalEstocavio said:
i meant people get really unnerved at the thought of messing with genetics, for no logical reason. Most people hate the idea of GM food, but we've doing it for thousands of years with regards to farming when we selectively breed a type of crop or animal for certain characteristics.
but anyway i think you're right, cloning and genetics are were we should be putting the money
Also, new way clearer captcha? woot!
Hmm since it's not actually made out of Meat would this be considered a Veggie Burger? It's very interesting.
Lol, I think people are being really unfair (although it is hilarious to read). It is an excellent idea, the re-processing of otherwise useless materials into something we really, really need - more food.
I think we're too squeamish and pampered in the first-world to eat something like that, especially as we can eat real meat. But I imagine it's a godsend for third-world countries where there isn't enough food, especially protein foods, to go around.
Although...can you imagine a future where people are exploited for their poo? Nasty corporations giving the populace of a country laxatives so they all shit more so they can increase their profits?? :-O

Heh, no, rats don't really lay eggs, they're mammals. It's just that every time Mc'Donalds runs that tv ad that begins with: "What kind of eggs does Mc'Donalds use in their egg Mc'Muffins?" I can't help but reply to the tv with: "Rat eggs". =PIlikemilkshake said:

I was more questioning the fact that they didnt use chicken eggs, rather than they used rat eggs
and oh, i havent seen that ad, but yeah.. i never trust the contents of mcdonalds, even though i love chicken nuggets

Dear Japan: I know you guys have had an economic downturn for the past 20 years,
and I know you guys have been fishing your local aquatic populations to dangerous levels,
and I also know that you have little landmass for agriculture.
But this is NOT the way.
Also, "you are what you eat."
