Would you eat feces?

[MrFun]

You didn't answer my question. How much nutrition can you get from a pound of feces? How does this compare to non-liberal-arts-approved things like "pink slime" or chicken mcnuggets?

There is no nutritional value in feces. Why does that mean we can't eat the stuff though?

[loinburger]

You're asking why we don't eat something that's full of harmful chemicals and bacteria, that smells and presumably tastes awful, and that has no nutritional value? You are an idiot.

RE the inevitable "I was just joking hahahaha" response: no, you weren't, because if you were joking then (in theory) the thread would be funny.

Not only that, it smells and tastes awful presumably as an evolved reflex specifically to prevent us from eating it.

You need to reread my post. If the feces had the harmful stuff removed by chemicals, and we used other chemicals to make it taste good, would you eat the feces?

Give me one reason why we would treat feces in this manner

You're basically asking "if we took cyanide, and replaced all of the cyanide with grapefruit juice, then would you drink the cyanide grapefruit juice?" Yes, if you replaced cyanide with grapefruit juice then I would drink the cyanide grapefruit juice.

We use chemicals to remove bacteria from meat, and we use chemicals in meat to make meat taste better. Back when I thought McDonald's was still using "pink slime" to make their "chicken" McNuggets, and posted about it, you pointed out that you would even eat a rat as long as chemicals used removed harmful bacteria, and made the rat taste good.

So I thought I could apply the same thing to feces.

[loinburger]

Rats have nutritional value. By your own admission, feces has no nutritional value. This thread is terrible.

Given that just about any food we eat has either naturally occurring chemicals or synthetic chemicals, and that most people have no problem with this as long as bacteria is removed from the food and it tastes good, I thought I'd ask this question:

Would you eat feces if chemicals were used to remove bacteria, and then other chemicals were used to make the feces taste good?

No, I would not. I wouldn't eat chocolate coated cockroaches either. It's a matter of personal preference of course.

Alright -this thread stinks like sh!t.

If we're talking about hypothetically eating feces, we might as well talk about hypothetically eating granite. Would you eat granite if we went to great expense to make it edible? If your first thought isn't "why the hell would we want to make granite edible?" then you are probably MrFun or one of his former classmates.

The "pink slime" is composed of muscle tissue so it is actually meat. It is not at all like eating feces.

Would you also give me a gizzard? If so, I may think about it.

Yes. I already do. The process you are talking about is to compost it, then mix the feces into the soil at specific ratios and let plants do the rest of the processing.
