I quote from this weeks Washington City paper's "New's of the Weird"

The Environmental Assessment Center in Okayama, Japan, announced in October
that
it had manufactured an experimental sausage out of recycled Tokyo sewage bt
adding soybean protein and steak flavoring to "sewage solids."  A company
spokesman said, "Sewage isn't realy such a dangerous and dirty thing." However,
he  did not forsee commercially marketing the sausage: "Sewage does have a
slight image problem. I don't think people will be content eating something
they
know has been excreted by humans."
