A solution for world hunger that is too hard to stomach

NO NEED! If i don't have a choice i still not eat this kind of food invention, I rather starve. Actually, I don't consider this as food for human. Why not inventing other foods that last long without this kind of ingridients. It's really keen to eat. ewwwness! However, I've been thinking of this before but not like that kind of invention, I imagine a one(1) capsule that will take for a year before you feel hunger and loss energy and strenght. The content maybe a nutrious sources from our different kinds of plants,vegetables,fruits and protein coming from beans then remove the acid that will give harmful effect to older people. It will support the whole daily nutrients needs by human and last long for a year in just taking one(1) capsule. But of course, no one can ever live without water. water is still need to in take everyday. I hope someday I will have a chance to discover this kind of invention not coming from human exremenr and sewage mud. (_

Actually, urine is completely sterile (without bacteria or other harmful things) unless the person has a Urinary Tract Infection. That does not mean that it is healthy or good to drink, but it will not make you sick either, especially if it is the only thing you have to keep you hydrated. Having said that, I do not think that I could drink it even if I was dying of thirst, so eating the other (poo), which is absolutely filled with all kinds of bad bacteria and other things that will make you sick is completely out of the question.

Oh No i would never have believed it! Who would do something like that? Im absolutely horrifyied! As amazing as being able to turn human waste into edible food is, its revolting. I would never eat artificial meat made out of this. It turns my stomach to think about it. I wonder how much this costs and how long he has been playing with and tasting poo for before he came up with a formula that worked. It's hard to believe there is someone out there who made this his life mission. I guess it could be useful in countries where the poor are starving, but it disgusts me.

Well, the food we eat today just came from our own waste really or being fertilized by it, the only difference is, that guy is trying to do it artificially . I'm sure with so much people around consuming a piece of a limited resources, it's just a matter of time before it becomes a world of recyclable everything, including poops , it's just a matter of getting use to it.

I have eaten weird food but I refuse to try this one. When he says that the cost is 10x actually the cost of normal meat but will be the same in the future, I don't think he will find any buyer. I don't imagine a seller saying seriously "Do you want beef or sh... ?"

Wow, that's interesting to know but sounds funny. However, if such invention will be given attention and priority, nobody will suffer from hunger anymore especially in those places that hunger has a high number of mortality rate. I remember when I was small. My grandfather's doctor told him to drink the first urine in the morning and this is very good to our health. I was small that time but I can't really hold and I laugh out loud. I guess I'll be feeling sick if I'll do that.

omg! what was the japanese scientist thinking? i know his intentions are good but seriously, who would consider such? perhaps, this technology can be done and used to provide food for livestock such as chicken, cattle, and the like but to propose the idea that human excrement and sewage mud be turned into steaks and burgers and fed to people is downright disgusting. maybe, it will be applicable for space voyage like what was mentioned in the other posts but i would think that we the amount of money space programs would have at their disposal, they can think of a better alternative for food than manure.

Yes, that definitely sounds disgusting and not very appetizing to the stomach at all! Still, it's a well known fact that the world as we know it is running out of food and all options have to be laid out on the table so to speak. I think the key thing is survival! We don't want nations fighting each other for resources which include food and water as well as medicines. If I think about this idea carefully though then I suppose I would be all for it although I would rather not be informed as regards the ingredients! I would much prefer to remain ignorant as longs as the offering tastes nice. This really is a crazy world that we are living in! Andrew

oh, my! how gross! it sounds to me as very desperate. but it had me thinking now if someday, this will happen. and had me thinking about a question, are you going to eat this when there is no food anymore to eat?

This is called technology. However, i don't think i would want to eat that if i had a choice. It's really disgusting to even think about how it is being made.

I regretted stumbling upon your discussion after I recently had my dinner. i took me a great urge not to throw up on my computer. That aside, i don't want to know what inspired this scientist's...interest. I have a vague notion of his intentions but I think the only scenario where people will actually warm up to this idea is when they are really really desperate. If that is the case, I do not wish to see or experience that particular event. I don't think my taste buds will nor my nose will cooperate if this ever happen.

That sounds indeed disgusting,I'm sure many people will be willing to try this alternative source of food,but I certainly hope that won't be the main meal of the future.I don't imagine myself eating such a thing,I don't think I would cross that psychological barrier;I might be able to cross that the line if I found myself somewhere in an isolated place with nothing else to eat,I would try to imagine that my name is Bear Grylls and I could eat anything,no matter how disgusting.Maybe that will help,but I doubt it.

If true, the organic movement, the food, health and wellness industries, etc., in fact, even organize religion, will be up in arms against this "food" technology. What a change in culture too. And changes in the use of physical space. Imagine our public toilets, once confined to the out of sight, becoming "food factories." Imagine restaurants and food shops relocating nearest to these sources of supply. Not very appetizing. This will change human life as we know it.
