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!

Soylent Green

In this case it would be Soilent Green or Soylent Brown. Virtually all of the protein in human poop is not of human but of bacterial origin.

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

So, would one of these be an Anus burger?

[Pilgrim's Progress]

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

Culver's already has one . . . it is called the Butt-er Burger.

[Chickensoup]

Heck, I have been eating these since the separation.

“Hey! This burger tastes like...”

I misread you post and thought it said that Michelle is the First Fanny.

Needs a little filler to hold together. Maybe dried grass.

Never going to eat at that new Japanese restaurant in town. Triple Barf!

[TribalPrincess2U]

No, they’re contributing to it. Save the planet, you know.

[PGR88]

You just know its eventually going to show up in school lunches as part of some “green initiative”

[Pilgrim's Progress]

So, now when do employees have to wash their hands? Is there going to be conveyor belt attached to the toilets?

[TribalPrincess2U]

World gone mad!

[jerseyrocks]

I think Harold Camping might have been right, ruining the hot dog and hamburger is like the end of the world.

[Sparky21555]

Served with an nice hot bowl of buffalo chips chili.

(Look it up, it’s a real recipe from the old west.)

[MaxMax]

That would be great on the Berkley menu.
They could call it the Glory Hole Burger.

[chris37]

What is this I don’t even

[halfright]

Thats why they call’em sliders

If you could connect your toilet to one of these turd burger machines then theoretically you’d only really have to BUY your first one.

[chemicalman]

Think these scientists are located too close to Fukashima.

[TennTuxedo]

Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
