A Japanese researcher from Okayama Laboratory named Mitsuyuki Ikeda has created meat like food from human excrement. Could this be the solution to our food problems and end of world hunger? It may very well go in a chain like this food -> excrement -> food... ;)

Basically, urine is bacteria, virus free and you get some minerals etc. with it. So its not that horrible like it sounds. And I hope all of has heard about Morarji Desai.

You see, they are preparing it from sewer Mud which contains lots of bacteria and he is using those bacteria as source = artificial meat with lesser calorie and higher protein!

Time to drink my own piss

its already been done by that guy of discovery channel who gives survival tips
(forgot the name of the show)

anyways now we can't use the dialogues like:

"Eat my s#it"
he'll say
-->"I know how to do my own"
