Instead of trying to add all the **** to the **** to make it look/taste like meat, they should just go the simple route. Pop the **** proteins into a capsule form, take it as a dietary supplement for populations without the food supply to support themselves.

Boring? Ya. But to me at least, the mental part of "eating **** proteins" seems easier to overcome if it's just a pill made of proteins and carbs, rather than something trying to look/feel/taste like a mushy brown beef substitute.

I certainly don't remember the "convert **** to food" bit in the back story of the replicator on Star Trek.

Maybe you should pay attention.

In Star Trek a replicator is a machine capable of creating (and recycling) objects. Replicators were originally seen used to synthesize meals on demand, but in later series they took on many other uses.
...

A replicator works by rearranging subatomic particles, which are abundant everywhere in the universe, to form molecules and arrange those molecules to form the object. For example, to create a pork chop, the replicator would first form atoms of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc., then arrange them into amino acids, proteins, and cells, and put it all together into the form of a pork chop.

Nuclear fusion based meals? Fuck yea.

That's not nuclear fusion. They're just creating and combining molecules. Nuclear fusion is the combining and altering of atomic nuclei.

Not that I'd want to eat one, but it seems as though the basic "building blocks" are taken from bacteria, not the ***** itself:
Article wrote:
Tokyo Sewage approached the scientist because of an overabundance of sewage mud. They asked him to explore the possible uses of the sewage and Ikeda found that the mud contained a great deal of protein because of all the bacteria.

The researchers then extracted those proteins, combined them with a reaction enhancer and put it in an exploder which created the artificial steak.

They do the same basic thing with some garden fertilizers such as Milorganite from the Milwaukee waste water treatment plant: use human waste as a food source for bacteria, then use the dead bacteria as fertilizer. Obviously there's a big difference between garden fertilizer and steaks but neither is being made straight from ****.

I'll do like Twiz though and stick with slices of dead cow.

This ******** seems like a good idea to me. Perfect it, industrialize it, let the world have at it.

As long as it's safe, I'm all for it. I think the triumph of science trumps the whiney, 6-year-old girl "Eeeewwww" factor.

In one of the books, an engineer(want to say he was a Cardassian) actually rewires one of the toilets into a replicator when either trapped on a defunct station or in a defunct part of a working station.

Hopefully that's not the same plant that had the cryptosproidium outbreak 18 years ago.

Just exactly how advanced do the toilets get in star trek that they need wiring complicated enough to convert into a fictional replicator that's so complex it can rearrange subatomic particles?

Considering most star ships tend to only have one toilet, they'd better be damn advanced.
