When most of us see a baby diaper full of poop, we think “Gross! We should probably throw this away and spray some Febreze in here!”
Well apparently a group of scientists can look at the same thing and think “This would be perfect for making sausage!”
That’s right! A group of mad scientists has actually started making sausage using infant feces, and apparently it’s good for you!
Now let’s just make one thing clear right off the bat: They aren’t actually putting baby poop IN the sausage! However, they ARE using bacteria found in the waste to help ferment the meat!
Before you get too grossed out, most of the meat used in the sausage we eat is cured using mixtures of spices and bacteria! Scientists found high levels of two types of probiotic bacteria in baby deuces, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, and there can be some serious advantages to using them!
Probiotic bacteria has already been proven to help burn fat, treat depression, and even fight urinary tract infections, although research is still being done to see if it has this same effect when used in the fermentation process!
Here’s the part where your gag reflex might start kicking in: Scientists have already successfully made a few batches of dookie sausages and they say they taste pretty darn good! Yuck!!
We’re not quite sure if we’re ready to jump on the bandwagon of baby butt sausage, and it might be a while before we see it in restaurants considering no companies are interested in picking it up! We can’t say we’re too surprised there!
