why spaz out about it? If you want to talk specifically about shit, how about we think about all the manure used as fertilizer, or to make fertilizer? Or all the shit animals end up covering themselves in, even in wild environments?
Oh sure, they're all CLEANED...but it sounds like this "poop meat" doesn't have any more poop in it than those items. It's been so far chemically removed from poop, that it's...well...not poop!! How is cleaning some how more wholesome than chemical extraction and modification?
It doesn't matter, the idea of eating feces is psychologically different than a secondary exposure to feces such as fertilizer. Most consumers never see manure used as the fertilizer in the fields or the animals they are eating stepping and laying in it. It's a bit "out of sight, out of mind". The idea of eating it and knowing what it is is simply repulsive and would be to most everybody. This is an effect in psychology that has been very well documented. You can take something normally yummy like chocolate and shape into a big turd or a cockroach and most people will freeze up and not eat it even though they know it is yummy chocolate. There is a minority that seem to be able to overcome the effect but not many. maybe you are one.
I can understand hesitance to eat it due to the psychological barrier, but outright refusal, even in the face of starvation...
Well, it's something someone who's never starved before would say.
This is quite presumptuous. You don't know how hungry I have been in the past or whether I have ever went without food (I have). I can assure you that in the past when I did go without food and was extremely hungry that I would have not have eaten this.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

I guess you can have your shit and eat it too...

*snort* it's not like it resembles feces in any way by the time they're done with it.

Except it isn't feces. It's as much feces as an apple is dirt. *NM*

Except that's bullshit. Once you explain to people what is going on, it's no longer a problem.

it really could, particularly if they made it more efficient and could use multiple species of feces
