"Feces hamburgers," also known as "poop burgers," refer to a 2011 Japanese concept where a scientist extracted protein and lipids from human feces to create an artificial meat product. The " shitburger" was developed by scientist Mitsuyuki Ikeda as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional meat production. While the idea received media attention, it has been widely discussed as a potential hoax or a novelty concept due to its psychological barriers and potential for being a misrepresentation of actual food science in the real world, according to this Forbes article. The Concept Source: Human excrement (or "sewage mud") is processed to extract proteins and lipids, which are the building blocks of meat. Process: The extracted components are combined with a reaction enhancer and then whipped in an "exploder" to form a meat-like texture. Flavoring: Red food coloring is added for visual appeal, and soy protein and steak sauce are used to improve the taste. Goal: The primary motivation was to create a sustainable alternative to livestock farming, reducing the environmental impact of meat production. The Reality Hoax/Misrepresentation: While the concept was widely publicized, with the term " poop burger" becoming popular, some reports suggest it was either a hoax or a scientific concept that was heavily exaggerated. Psychological Barriers: The idea of eating human waste presents a significant psychological barrier for most people, making it a hard sell for consumers. No Widespread Availability: There is no evidence that these "feces hamburgers" were ever produced or sold on a commercial scale. Important Distinction It's crucial to differentiate between this concept of meat made from feces and the fact that raw or undercooked ground beef almost always contains fecal matter from the slaughtering process. While fecal contamination is a problem with traditional beef production, it is not the same as the intentional creation of food from feces.
