Hello, you curious people! Have you ever heard of a poop burger? No, it’s not a joke. Japanese scientist Mitsuyuki Ikeda from the Okayama Laboratory has a rather unusual idea: he makes burgers out of human waste. Yes, you read that right!
Turning waste into protein
Professor Ikeda believes that human waste is full of good proteins that are currently being wasted in the truest sense of the word. So he has found a way to extract it, mix it with steak sauce and voila! Faecal feast for a king.
Why would anyone do such a thing?
You might be wondering why anyone would even think of turning faeces into food. Well, Tokyo Sewage asked Professor Ikeda to find a solution to their sewage sludge problem. It turns out that this sludge is rich in proteins thanks to the bacteria it contains. Mix in a few additives, run it through a machine called an “exploder” and out comes an artificial steak.
Does it taste like beef?
Believe it or not, initial tests have shown that it tastes like beef! It’s even coloured red so you can’t tell it’s made from, well, you know.
A solution for the environment
According to Professor Ikeda and his team, these poop burgers could help reduce cow waste and emissions. That’s a big deal when you consider how much methane cows produce.
The catch
Of course, there’s a catch. Aside from the fact that these stinky steaks are made from poo and soya, they’re 10 to 20 times more expensive to produce than regular beef. Ouch!
What’s next?
Leave it to the fast food chains to figure out if poop burgers are the next big thing. The technology is there, and who knows, maybe one day you’ll be eating a burger made from yesterday’s leftovers.
Would you try it?
So, dear students and parents, here’s the big question: would you ever bite into a burger made from human waste? Could this be the food of the future or just a weird experiment gone wrong?
Keep the conversation going
Let us know your thoughts and let’s keep the conversation going. After all, it’s important to think about where our food comes from and the impact it has on our planet.
P.S. Stay curious and keep exploring new ideas, even those that sound a little… unconventional!
