Just Add Urine!

Army rations rehydrated by urine

So, yeah. In order to eat your food, you have to pee on it first. hahaha. Well, not really. But you CAN.

It's a membrane that will filter out all sorts of bacteria in dirty liquid, while rehydrating the dried food. But it won't filter out, uh, urea.

If you eat food that is hydrated with urine, does that make you a cannibal? A cannibal twice removed?

Anyway, I think advanced food technology is really cool, but... yuck. Posted by Curt at July 23, 2004 08:59 PM

Well, it's better than some of the earliest gas masks. Some WWI soldiers had to urinate on their masks for better protection. Sticking a urine-soaked, charcoal-loaded sock over my head. Or vomiting my own eyeballs before I die. Choices.
