Once I got over the visceral yuck reaction, I saw nothing wrong with it. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 18/06/2011 02:39:33 PM
It's simply using feces as a source for chemicals, in much the same way plants use dirt (which is mostly rotted matter) for chemicals. These steaks are as much feces as your normal steak is dirt; it's just that the researchers have found a way to eliminate the relatively lengthy middleman of metabolic processes.

I guess you can have your shit and eat it too... Dark Knight - 18/06/2011 06:42:25 AM 780 Views
That's certainly interesting. *NM* LadyLorraine - 18/06/2011 06:44:27 AM 192 Views

*snort* it's not like it resembles feces in any way by the time they're done with it. LadyLorraine - 18/06/2011 09:27:33 AM 484 Views

My point is that it's so far removed from the original material LadyLorraine - 18/06/2011 10:11:48 PM 379 Views

Except it isn't feces. It's as much feces as an apple is dirt. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/06/2011 07:04:06 PM 189 Views
Except psychologically it doesn't matter. *NM* everynametaken - 19/06/2011 09:59:49 PM 183 Views
So stop being irrational and eat it anyway? *NM* Urza - 19/06/2011 10:24:52 PM 188 Views
Except that's bullshit. Once you explain to people what is going on, it's no longer a problem. Ghavrel - 20/06/2011 03:58:04 AM 401 Views
That is not accurate at all. *NM* everynametaken - 20/06/2011 11:31:08 PM 179 Views
I see the point you're trying to make and I understand where you're coming from LadyLorraine - 20/06/2011 12:27:14 AM 450 Views
That actually sounds really cool. Urza - 18/06/2011 07:31:30 AM 459 Views
it really could, particularly if they made it more efficient and could use multiple species of feces LadyLorraine - 18/06/2011 09:30:26 AM 457 Views
Unfortunately, that is particularly optimistic. Ghavrel - 18/06/2011 02:34:43 PM 469 Views
yah I know. but still, one can always hope? *NM* LadyLorraine - 18/06/2011 10:13:45 PM 187 Views

Sounds like that or soilent green. *NM* everynametaken - 19/06/2011 10:00:58 PM 187 Views
