I might eat it if I had too, and if it tasted good I would buy it, but if it is neither of those is true, than I'll pass.

Me eating it would go like this
"Well isn't yogurt bacteria and people eat that?"
*grabs the burger and pushes it closer to my face*
"Fuck it, can't do it."

you like veggies right? you like beef right? you know all that comes from "poo"... basically, all he's done is use poop as the fertilizer for the bacteria. once the bacteria eat the poops, it excretes proteins (and if you have a problem with bacteria excrement, then you obviously never ever drink alcohol or teas). the poo is just the fertilizer or food for the bacteria. just like sugar is for beer/wine. this is actually a very clever solution for a big problem! especially in situations where you'd be in a closed environment (aka, long term space travel/missions).

as long as there's no harmful byproducts of the process and the proteins they drop aren't like, something that could harm us indirectly... then there's really no problem with it. that and as long as it doesn't taste like poo... but from what he says, there is no poo in it, it's just the "mud" left over from the bacteria.

anyways, lets get back to the cycle of life thing... poo is the fertilizer for grass, cow eats grass, cow makes protein. or poo fertilizes plants and you eat the veggies. it's the same basic concept. and don't think your veggies don't have little bits of crap still stuck in them either...

but yeah, the technology is there now... so I'm sure when people are starving in the streets their "ew gross" responses will decrease the closer they get to death. just sayin...

Just in case it hasn't been said yet -

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.
Ok, then you can't eat anything at all sorry.

I wonder how many "Soylent Brown" jokes there are in this topic?
...Probably better not go looking for them.

Can't see anything wrong with that. Sure, it'll take some time to get used to the thought, for most people - But that's kind of irrelevant. If you hadn't eaten for, say, a week, you'd never turn down this burger anyway.

And really, it's no different from say... How farmers use animal excrement to fertilize their soil.

Jesus Christ people it's not like you're eating shit. The substitute meat is created from the proteins of the bacteria that thrive in shit. This could very well solve a lot of problems and put all the shit in the world to actual good use.

I usually get annoyed at people for saying stuff like this, but here, everyone, join me in saying;
...God-freaking-damnit Japan. No. Just No.

This actually reminds me of a scene from Gulliver's Travels (the book. I haven't seen the movie), where there's an eccentric scientist who swears that one can process viable food back out of poop.
I think south park maybe did something similar but i cant really remember.

As for wanted to stop japan being weird, i say we should just run with it, eventually they'll invent something THEY find weird, and we find awesome
No. Your thinking of when they had the people in South Park put food up their butts, and crap out their mouths. It was the same episode with the church molestation issue.

ah yeah, i remember that now.. wouldnt it be weird if that was how it worked, and then in combination with the poop burger, you put that up your butt.. but what would come out then?
