Some hardcore carnivores have a hard time finding meat alternatives such as soy protein or tofu burgers to be palatable. But non-meat eaters may lose their appetite along with their carnivorous friends over this one – a meat alternative made from HUMAN EXCREMENT. Yep, you heard me correctly — Japanese scientist Mitsuyuki Ikeda has developed a “burger” made from soya, steak sauce essence, and protein extracted from human feces. Hit the break for a video explaining the process!

Gross!!

What’s funny is that there was a jack inthe box ad near the bottom of my page.....

They did the commercial about Angus burgers. (What part of the cow is the Angus?)

Word on the street is that Elvis’ last utterance was: “.......Corn??”

[almost done by half]

"I shudder to think about what the drive-thru window will be like."

I would think it would be impossible to fail a state cleanliness test wouldn't it?

[5Madman2]

That supports one of my sayings-you could wrap a turd in bacon and it might be good

“Is there a problem, Sir?” “Yes, waiter, there is...please bring me another burger...this one tastes like sh!t.”

“Wedgie-Burger” bump.....

[J40000]

What a CRAPPY idea!!! Eewwwwww!!!!

“I’ll have a burger..with corn..”

[ErnBatavia]

Wedgieburger, right?

[Allegra]

If there’s a spike in typhoid cases in a particular area, check the nearby burger stands...

I want to know who was the first person that looked at a pile of turd and said, “You know, we could eat that, Maybe a little hot sauce!”

[cripplecreek]

Yeah I just heard them talking about the Angus burger while I was watching the ball game.

[Billthedrill]

Exactly! Can you believe the naysayers on this thread? You’d think none of them had ever had frozen urine on a stick or fresh phlegm on their popcorn before. Sheesh.

[Lockbar]

My dog has the same concept.

[supremedoctrine]

THis is probably the ONLY good news the Coprophiliac Community has had in its entire history.
But it’s cold comfort when they find out how little of any burger will actually contain waste, and how adulterated it is by other ingredients.
This just confirms my longstanding belief that Japanese culture is the most perverse on Earth (aside from our friends the Fundi Islamics).

[KoRn]

Haven’t they already been serving these at most ‘fast food’ places?

[norton]

if I had to choose between eating that and starving to death, no question in my mind, I pick starving to death. No question

None of your neighbors are democrats?
Just use a lot more Tobasco.

"Soylent Green."

[treetopsandroofs]

They already did it for Number 1....
