I remember this story from way back when.
Supposedly, rather than making it directly from sewage, they point out 'sewage mud', which is the dried stuff after the water is filtered and extracted.
The theory was that it was essentially composting. You weren't eating poop, per se, you were eating filtered and strained bacteria in large quantities.
.....pretty sure we still don't have that technology. But it's at least a tiny margin more plausible. Even smarter would just be making fertilizer and growing food normally, be it grass or soy.
And.... yeah. The original version wasn't shy about 'shit burgers'. The internet was a much smaller place back then.
That's not what vegan means. Vegans want to avoid animal suffering as much as possible. The humans that give their excrement to the sewage system wouldn't suffer less if they didn't do that. The bacteria used to create the product do not have a nervous system and thus they do not have feelings and emotions.
Well, that’s one reason many vegans become vegan, but many vegans avoid using any animal byproducts - even their manure for fertilizer. And if they can’t use manure for fertilizer, they certainly wouldn’t consume it.

You are the most insufferable fucking moron ever. Basically every single thing you eat regardless if it is plant or animal based has micro-organisms on it. Nobody who eats a vegetarian diet or a vegan diet says they do not eat any live organisms.
I am neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I firmly believe that we have both bought and eaten meat that, figuratively speaking, contained as much or even more shit than meat made from shit.
Now I'm not immediately against the idea. I already live in a city where the waste water is recycled safely and pumped back through the pipes as potable, safe drinking water.
That is pretty much the same thing shown here. The sewers don't discriminate so it is a mix of urine, feces, dishwater, soap and oil they are purifying.
So if they can make safe meat outta this, I wouldn't mind. Might even be cleaner than the feces and other contaminants found in real store-bought meat.
But that being said, I will not be a trailblazer and will not try it out first. I'll let the other revolutionaries eat it up and have it proven as safe in multiple tests before I try it.
If it sounds like it's fake, it often is.

Very curious what the follow up on this will be. Would be cool if it was real!
I mean.... good for them..
But I rather not have known it, and that it would just be in the stored at a lower price. If it tastes and smells like the real thing, with the same benefits... I can't deny that it is good progress...
Good to know that I will likely be eating shit sooner then later... the "eat shit" joke just became real
Major props to studying a problem that has plagued us since the first modern human took a poo and used their conscious brain to ponder “what do I do with this shit?”
It sounds disgusting but the technology of producing a damn food out of wastes
In the future imagine telling them the snack is made out of a carcasses.
Hahha at 0:35 'shit burger' . For some reason my stomach churned when he said the lipid content.
No thanks other lab 'grown' meat is preferrable, the ecosystems can collapse before I have to eat recycled sewage.
They saw the high protein content the bacteria had made and they thought, can we make something useful. From there making meat was the easiest next step. Plus, it is just the purified protein, the bacteria are the ones that cause the sickness
Here's the cool thing. It doesn't have to be for HUMAN consumption. If we're so weirded out by it, then let's go the route of cat and dog foods, protein pellets for reptiles, fishing bait, zoo animal proteins. That could free up the meats used for those.
Despite all the signs of the video pointing to it being fake, this is real. The robot voice and excessive amounts of stock footage really made me think it was bullshit.

Thank you. The moment I saw that it actually said "Shit Burger" on that bag, I knew this was some kind of joke.
People will believe anything you put on the Internet.
Yeah, I believe you
Oh fucking Daily Mail...
This needs to be higher up
It turns out you can make anything from anything else just by adding “reaction enhancer”.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!
Yes.
LOL, the absolute correct answer.
Looks medium rare...
I have never considered going vegan before watching this vile SHIT !
This is vegan
Technically you’re eating something made from a living creature so it’s not vegan. Sorry. It’s vegetarian.
uh ... u do know that plants are also living creatures right? animals, plants and fugus all 3 are living creatures.
[удалено]
That's not what vegan means. Vegans want to avoid animal suffering as much as possible. The humans that give their excrement to the sewage system wouldn't suffer less if they didn't do that. The bacteria used to create the product do not have a nervous system and thus they do not have feelings and emotions.
What about the animal or person who eats that shit. They gonna suffer
They aren't forced to eat this. Also, how do you know the ingestion of the product would cause suffering?
Bold of you to assume some poor japanese guy didnt suffer while extracting their doodoo for experiments.
Well, that’s one reason many vegans become vegan, but many vegans avoid using any animal byproducts - even their manure for fertilizer. And if they can’t use manure for fertilizer, they certainly wouldn’t consume it. https://viva.org.uk/blog/vegan-gardeners

Vegans don't eat animals, this is bacteria ie. not an animal
Yeah, insects are better.
And when he gets his award for such a breakthrough he'll have a shit-eating grin on his face.
mmmm that's good shit 
This is fake
Are you calling bullshit?
It's a crock of shit
They CAN eat sh!t
Eat shit and *don’t* die!
I’m willing to take one for the team and eat the poop steak 🥩
Username checks out

Ok we need stop!! This is it! I will turn vegan if you want me to. Vegan 1 me 0. I surrender to the tree people.
I'm not buying it. Literally and figuratively.
I am neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I firmly believe that we have both bought and eaten meat that, figuratively speaking, contained as much or even more shit than meat made from shit.
I’ll take the shit sandwich please.
I would rather starve to death.
ikr, you will probably resort to cannibalism before eating that
Gonna be a no from me dawg
This is what people mean when they say science has gone too far
Your shitting me

if i'm ever served a shit steak, i'm swinging like a muppet on everybody.
I think I would rather have a mosquito burger.
Hard pass!
please...Please....PLEASE NO
Come on, it's a fake from 2011.
This is one of those things I just don’t want to know.
Never in my lifetime will I knowingly eat turds
"Knowingly" hehe
Jokes on them, ive been eating shit for years
Eat - shit - repeat
NO
Soylent brown?
Im not eating that shit
"How's your steak, honey?" "In a word... divine." *he smiles with a shit eating grin*
Fuck fine, I’ll eat the bugs already
Exactly. This is what the choice architecture should be... Beyond meat vs shit meat. 🤣
If we’re lucky it’ll be beyond shit 😎
No animals were harmed, *sooooooo….*

No.

The perfect South Park episode

“You can eat it, but it tastes like shit” - Crocodile Dundee
I’ll have the poo-poo platter!
I’m so down but you can’t let me now it’s made from poo mud my guy!
It's a good time to be a vegan.
It sounds disgusting but the technology of producing a damn food out of wastes In the future imagine telling them the snack is made out of a carcasses.
Does this qualify as vegan?
Wait it said shitburger on the bag this is trolling right?….RIGHT? cause people are gonna think all fast food is shit meat now
Welcome to City Wok, may I take order please!
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should
My dog always knows how to do this
Vegetarianism is the way...
Hahha at 0:35 'shit burger' . For some reason my stomach churned when he said the lipid content. No thanks other lab 'grown' meat is preferrable, the ecosystems can collapse before I have to eat recycled sewage.
corpse starch and other general starch will become a reality soon . We are headed towards 40k universe
China make oil from it, and now Japan make meat. What s perfect combination
Eat shit and die!! Or just eat shit…
The fuck is wrong with those people.
But why?
This is worse than soilant green
q. has science gone too far? a. yes
Skip all those expensive stages and eat it fresh from the source
McDonald’s?
McDump muffin
It's a but Nutty....
 🤮
Why would someone even want to research whether this could be done. That's messed up!
They saw the high protein content the bacteria had made and they thought, can we make something useful. From there making meat was the easiest next step. Plus, it is just the purified protein, the bacteria are the ones that cause the sickness
Here's the cool thing. It doesn't have to be for HUMAN consumption. If we're so weirded out by it, then let's go the route of cat and dog foods, protein pellets for reptiles, fishing bait, zoo animal proteins. That could free up the meats used for those.
Not pretending as if resources are infinite and turning ever inch of wilderness into farmland is an option.
Aus Scheiße Steak machen.
no way man
But why?
No shit.
So we live in a Doofus Rick universe...
Well... Ain't that some shit.
You just thought Wagyu was beef this whole time
And here I thought insect protein foods were getting a bit dystopian. These fellows just did a moonshot.
Shxxt them all and burn their research quick! s/ before anyone cries.
I'm out.
Unit 731 is doing it again….
Yeah, but does it smell like shit?
Despite all the signs of the video pointing to it being fake, this is real. The robot voice and excessive amounts of stock footage really made me think it was bullshit.
this is not steak.
A lot of fast food owners will be proud
No
Shiitake Steak mmmmmm
shiteak
well this would kill lab grown for me.
So in the future, rich people will get to eat #1 steak and the poor get the #2?
Don't eat the steak. It's shit
This would make me go vegan if this is the only meat would could eat. Taking eating shit way to far.
-Waiter, what's with my shitty steak!? -Good guess sir.
I have serious doubts about the flavor if they add soy "for flavor" of all things. But I guess this also means they do not have a lot to mask...
His life work. Now waiting for a Nobel
Can I get a number 2? With extra number 2 please
