What’s for Dinner Tonight?
Tokyo, Japan –
It was the next logical step. After all, in Europe people are eating so-called ‘ice cream’ and on the East Coast of the United States, so-called ‘cheese’. Both of which are made from human breast milk. And even in low earth orbit, right above our heads, the astronauts aboard the International Space Station are drinking ‘water’ recycled from their urine.
“So I thought, ‘Why not meals extracted from solid human excrement?” said Mako Aki, a Japanese scientist on the cutting edge of food engineering (or food reengineering). “Imagine the possibilities. Such a discovery could mean the end of food shortages and human starvation.”
“The real challenge,” says Aki. Of course, after overcoming the initial repulsion to the idea that you are eating human fecal matter, is making the recycled meal that has undergone her patent pending Synthesized Human Intestinal Treatment Technology (S.H.I.T.T.), which makes it not only safe to consume. “Is making it palatable and appealing to the end user as well.”
Because the human bowel movement (BM), after the bacteria, viruses and blood is removed, primarily consists of leftover proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and minerals, the trouble is that BMs tend to all taste the same.
“And let’s face it,” says Aki. “Who likes to eat leftovers anyway?”
So Aki and her fellow Japanese scientists have come up with specially flavored crystals imbedded in already been chewed (ABC) gum that adds spice and diversification to the Future Shock like S.H.I.T.T. menu.
Breaking down enzymes in the upper and lower digestive tracks, the flavor crystals quickly go to work, converting yesterday’s BM into today’s BM and tomorrow’s BM too.
“With the flavor crystals added, S.H.I.T.T. can mimic whatever ethnic or domestic food you desire,” said Aki.
“It changed the Thai food my wife prepared for me the night before for dinner into a delicious Italian dish last night,” said Bruno Johnson, a test subject in America. “I didn’t think she had it in her, but thanks to those flavor crystals, she did. Who knows what she has in her for dinner tonight.”
Mr. Johnson went on to say that he could not remember ever having such a satisfying home cooked meal before, strongly recommending the S.H.I.T.T. flavor crystals’ version of Chinese food.
“You know what they say about Chinese food?” said Mr. Johnson. “That you eat it only to find yourself hungry again an hour later. Well, that’s not a problem anymore. At least not mine away.”
“I use to hate coming home after work just to slave over a hot stove,” said Delores Johnson, also a test subject, as she placed a grocery bag and keys on the kitchen table. “But not anymore. Now I love coming home, knowing tonight’s dinner is just a trip down the hallway away.”
As Mrs. Johnson opens the refrigerator to put away the groceries, she notices she neglected to purchase a few items.
“Darn!” says Mrs. Johnson “I forgot the ice cream and cheese again.”
“Not a problem, honey,” says Mr. Johnson appearing from behind the refrigerator door, dangling a breast pump in the air.
“And what about the water?” says Mrs. Johnson, handing an empty water bottle to her husband.
“Don’t worry, dear,” politely replies Mr. Johnson with a wink as he takes the empty water bottle from her. “I got that covered.”
Mrs. Johnson then walks over to the bathroom carrying a breast pump on her shoulder and a newspaper under her arm, pausing a moment to pulled down the family’s dinner request posted to the door.
“Oh boy…” says Mrs. Johnson as she opens the medicine cabinet running her fingers across a number of relabeled spice bottles now marked: Thai food, Italian food, Mexican food ect. Then pulling out a bottle, she confidently tosses it up in the air and while catching it, says, “Looks like the husband and kids want Chinese tonight…I better get busy.”
