Japan scientist synthesizes meat from human feces (http://www.digitaltrends.com/international/japanese-scientists-creates-meat-out-of-feces/)

It's being called the "poop burger". Japanese scientists have found a way to create artificial meat from sewage containing human feces.
Somehow this feels like a Vonnegut plotline: population boom equals food shortage. Solution? Synthesize food from human waste matter. Absurd yes, but Japanese scientists (http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech//kajimto-lab-develops-ekiss/) have actually discovered a way to create edible steaks from human feces.

Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory, has developed steaks based on proteins from human excrement. Tokyo Sewage approached the scientist because of an overabundance of sewage mud. They asked him to explore the possible uses of the sewage and Ikeda found that the mud contained a great deal of protein because of all the bacteria.

The researchers then extracted those proteins, combined them with a reaction enhancer and put it in an exploder which created the artificial steak. The “meat” is 63% proteins, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids and 9% minerals. The researchers color the poop meat red with food coloring and enhance the flavor with soy protein. Initial tests have people saying it even tastes like beef.

Would You Eat a Burger Made from Poop?


This is a poopburger. As in, made from shit. I'm not even kidding, the Japanese extracted protein from human poop, mixed it with soya, added steak sauce and called it hamburger patties. Are you throwing up yet? Cause I did.

Mitsyuki Ikeda, the mad scientist behind this foul mashup, says some people may have a psychological aversion to eating fake meat made from poop. I think he's wrong. ALL people will have a psychological aversion. Sure, we all make jokes that fast food burgers taste like crap but we still don't want to actually eat crap, dude.
Ikeda, to his credit, created these poop burgers in an effort to be resourceful and recycle human waste. He realized if he could use "sewage mud", which is poop (you know you're in trouble when the euphemism of a word is just as bad as the word itself) and is everywhere, to formulate his burgers he could be completely efficient. Right now the burgers cost 10-20 times of regular meat because it factors in his research costs, the price will drop if there's enough demand. I never thought I had to ask this question but would you eat a burger made from poop? [INHABITAT (http://inhabitat.com/poop-burger-japanese-researcher-creates-artificial-meat-from-human-feces/)]

Okay 2 things, don't read the 2nd if you're really squeamish.

1. What is fertilizer other than feces that gets absorbed by a plant in order to make food? All food comes from poop somehow or another. Chances are the carbon in your body was in shit at one time. The scientists just accelerated and directed the process.

2. Meat is contaminated with shit already. When an animal gets slaughtered, there's no way they can avoid spilling the intestines all over the carcass all the time. Cows are creatures that just shit and fart incredible amounts. That's why the USDA pushed so hard for irradiating meat products.

FDA Approved Aspartame in Diet Drinks Radically Increases Your Risk of Cancer (http://healthimpactnews.com/2011/fda-approved-aspartame-in-diet-drinks-radically-increases-your-risk-of-cancer/)

I believe "the bacteria eating the poop" is a reference to that constant companion of poop since time began: our good friend, Escherichia coli. An amusing little microbe to be sure. It is easily detected, and it's presence in water supplies is always proof positive that somewhere, somehow the waste treatment situation is not up to par.

I truly hope that you are telling the truth when you say, "I would never eat it, don't know anyone that would." However, if you or any of your circle of friends are fond of either drinking beverages, chewing gum, or consuming any number of increasingly commonplace foodstuffs sweatened with Aspartame (Nutri-Sweet) you may have inadvertantly committed the dietary faux pas of eating "shit."

Aspartame is prepared with a process utilising the fecal material derived from GMO Escherichia coli as it's most important ingredient. Aspartame acquired it's FDA approved status during the period of time when that old thief himself Donald Rumsfield had revolved through the usual door from all his murky activities as an all-around genocidalist war-monger into the Board of Directors of Searle. Aspartame quickly became the profit center for Searle, and the company continues to get even more milk out of the same cash cow.

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/06/08/aspartame-toxic-sweetener.aspx)Tom Philpott got much more of a reaction to his February 10, 2011, aspartame article (http://www.grist.org/article/2011-02-10-still-drinking-diet-soda-dont-be-a-fashion-victim-pepsi-strokes) than he expected. He reports, “I guess in the back of my mind, I was thinking, people still drink that stuff?”

Well, they do—by the bucketful. Overall, U.S. soda consumption is declining slowly, but Americans still drink more soda than anyone else on the planet, by a wide margin. According to one reckoning (http://www.brandweek.com/bw/content_display/news-and-features/packaged-goods/e3iedc670800607df6c191cf7d4164ab322), the average American drinks 736 “eight-ounce servings” each year.
Adam Ozimek of the Modeled Behavior blog quickly mounted a vigorous defense of aspartame, the artificial sweetener of choice for the soda industry, claiming, “the unnecessary stress caused by worrying about the aspartame in your diet soda is far more dangerous for you than the aspartame in your soda.”
Ozimek also compared warnings about aspartame’s danger to 9/11 conspiracy theories, claiming the FDA “adequately followed its food additive approval process in approving aspartame.”

Regardless of how its prepared or how much it looks like a steak at the end of the day its still SHIT. It would be a great gag to send them to your least favorite person or set one off to the side during that next BBQ then hook up the guy that has had to much to drink or is hitting one your wife.

Recycled Cooking Oil Found to Be Latest Hazard in China



SHANGHAI — Regulators are investigating whether restaurants throughout China are creating food hazards by cooking with recycled oil, some tainted with food waste, and prominence given to the issue in the state-controlled media suggests that the problem could be widespread.

The State Food and Drug Administration issued a nationwide emergency notice telling health bureaus to investigate the sources of cooking oil in mid-March. The notice came shortly after a professor and a group of students at Wuhan Polytechnic University announced that they had found widespread use of recycled oil in their region in an undercover investigation. The professor, He Dongping, asserted that recycled oil was being used to prepare 1 in 10 meals in China.

Regulators are now searching for illegal oil recycling mills, and some health bureaus have begun releasing the names of restaurants and food establishments that were found to be using questionable oil.

Last November, regulators in southern China raided several workshops for turning discarded waste — possibly even sewage — into cooking oil.

China has repeatedly been hit by food safety scandals over the past few years, including contaminated milk, eggs and animal feed and the selling of diseased pigs. In 2007, the head of the State Food and Drug Administration was executed for failing to properly police the country’s food and drug industry, and China announced a major food safety crackdown.

But this week alone, state newspapers have reported that regulators found “unsafe artificial green peas” in Hunan Province and some 20,000 pounds of “toxic vegetables” in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Those vegetables had excessive pesticide residues, according to a government Web site.

In the case of the green peas, two illegal food workshops were caught processing dried snow peas and soybeans with chemicals and bleach to produce the appearance of more expensive green peas.

In the city of Chengdu, in southwestern China, food safety officials released the names of 13 restaurants that were found to be using illegal cooking oil. The restaurants specialized in hot pot, a popular simmered dish.

City residents voiced anger at Chengdu regulators for having delayed the release of some of the names of the implicated restaurants, according to the English-language newspaper China Daily.

Here in Shanghai, regulators have warned that illegal cooking oil could be a problem because a large portion of restaurant food grease goes unaccounted for.

Professor He declined to be interviewed this week. China Daily quoted one of his colleagues as saying that the authorities had pressured the professor to stop talking to the media, and that he had also received personal threats.

Huang Fenghong, deputy director of the Oil Crops Research Institute at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said the use of illegal cooking oil was a serious problem in China.

“Some low-end restaurants establish stable buy-and-sell relationships with underground oil recyclers,” he said in a telephone interview this week. “Some oil recyclers just dig out the oil from drains, because high-end restaurants seldom sell that drainage oil.”

Revisiting 'toilet to tap'

Los Angeles' water supplies are getting lower. The once-desolate Owens River Valley burst into flower this year because the Department of Water and Power brought less water to the city. Other states are increasing the amount of water they are able to tap from the Colorado River, L.A.'s primary source of water. And this has been the city's driest year on record. In response, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics/antonio-villaraigosa-PEPLT007500.topic) has called for greater water conservation to help meet future needs.

Given this scary situation, the DWP earlier this month asked a handful of private contractors how to promote "recycled water planning" and, in the words of DWP representative Carol Tucker, "to explore all options with our stakeholders for recycling water." Tucker insisted that turning sewage into tap water was not part of the plan, and other DWP officials have echoed her message.

But the water agency's request for ideas about recycling was explicit. It spoke of "indirect potable reuse," which means restocking groundwater with purified wastewater.

Sound vaguely familiar?

It should. Los Angeles has been there -- and then backed off. This time it should stay the course.

The new study might cost $1.5 million, but most of the needed equipment already exists. It's called the East Valley Water Reclamation Project.

Built in the 1990s at a cost of $55 million, it was used for a few days then shut down seven years ago. As DWP engineer Bill Van Wagoner put it, "We spent slightly under $1 million per acre foot (of water produced) before we had to shut it off." That comes down to about $2.75 a gallon -- as opposed to the fraction of a cent per gallon usually paid by DWP customers.

The problem? "Indirect potable reuse" got a bad new name: "toilet to tap."

Public hearings on the reclamation project's safety were held in 1995. The Los Angeles City Council then greenlighted it unanimously after the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, the state Department of Health Services and the state Environmental Protection Agency (http://www.latimes.com/topic/environmental-issues/environmental-cleanup/u.s.-environmental-protection-agency-ORGOV000048.topic) also approved the proposal.

It worked this way: Sewage was treated at the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys and then pumped to spreading fields near Hansen Dam, where, over five years, it would filter through sandy soil and gravel into an underground reservoir.

But what should have been an engineering triumph soon became a PR disaster.

For five years after its approval, the reclamation project was largely forgotten. Then came the official DWP announcement of its completion in 2000, just before an open mayoral contest in 2001 that included Valley secession on the ballot. The water agency could not have chosen a more inopportune moment.

The new pipeline, providing enough treated water for 120,000 L.A. homes, was greeted by protest. State Sen. Richard Alarcon (http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics/richard-alarcon-PEPLT000043.topic), who had approved it when he was a council member, now objected. He was swiftly joined by Gerald Silver, president of Homeowners of Encino, credited with popularizing the "toilet to tap" tag. Opposition snowballed.

Mayoral candidate and Valley council member Joel Wachs, who also had approved the plan in 1995, cried foul in 2000: "Go tell somebody in North Hollywood that they have to drink toilet water but the mayor [Richard Riordan (http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics/richard-riordan-PEPLT007579.topic)] won't have to drink it in [his] Brentwood [home]."

Wachs was utterly wrong. East Valley groundwater, like all the city's groundwater, is moved from Hollywood to downtown to Silver Lake and even to the Westside, "depending on supply, need and the way the system goes," Tucker said.

At the time, the DWP insisted that the treated water from the Tillman plant was almost potable, and when it reached the water agency's Valley wells, it would have a purity indistinguishable from unpolluted rainwater.

Few listened, however. City Atty. James K. Hahn, planning his own mayoral run, discretely ordered the recycling project shuttered for no other visible reason than the public protest. As mayor, he later reaffirmed his order, and the DWP promptly ran and hid from water recycling.

Back then and now, however, water treated at the city's main Hyperion wastewater plant goes into other cities' water supplies. It flows into aquifers supplying Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and Torrance, courtesy of the West Basin Water Recycling Facility. The water supply of thousands of other Los Angeles County residents also includes highly treated wastewater.

This is because modern water-purification technology is considered totally reliable. It uses micro-filtration and reverse osmosis, which pumps water through permeable membranes, and ultraviolet light to remove all contaminants. The "yuck factor" is now completely imaginary.

Orange County just opened its own half-billion-dollar reclamation program -- almost four times the size of the East Valley project -- with minimal public opposition. The secret of this success? Transparency.

"We started telling people from the start that we're purifying sewage water," said Ron Wildermuth, district communications director, for the Orange County Water District.

The district also mounted a substantial public education campaign that should become a model for the DWP's plan to relaunch its own ill-publicized recycling program. By November, Orange County's water reclamation plant daily will supply up to 500,000 people with 70 million gallons of treated water.

Every day, the outflow of L.A.'s treated wastewater -- about 400 million-plus gallons -- amounts to the state's fifth-largest river running into the Pacific Ocean.

In these dry times, it makes perfect sense to stop throwing it away.
