Researchers in Japan have created a concrete replacement out of food scraps — and the new compound can be both edible and sweet-smelling...
His earlier research resulted in a technique for combining recycled concrete powder and wood waste to form an improved material through heat pressing. That sparked interest in using other waste products.
“A similar approach can be applied to not only wood, but also to vegetables and fruit, and that is what we did,” he said...
“It is said that one-third of food is wasted in the whole world.”

Food to fuel vehicles and food to make building materials. Half the world is starving and before long the whole world will be.
And if famine hits you could eat your sidewalk.
This has to be the Babylon Bee.
Now they are going to want us to have yet another waste container — “Future Concrete.” I already have THREE bins.
The economics and impracticality of this doom it. It is ridiculous.
Finally! A purpose is found for those school lunch leftovers still composting from Michelle Obama’s Healthy Lunch Menus!
The rats, and roaches will love it.................
We already have a problem with mice and other vermin munching the soy-based environmentally-friendly wiring in modern cars. What animals are going to start eating these houses and sidewalks?
I was thinking the same thing.
Had they gone to my ex-MIL first they wouldn’t have had to do much research.
A speck of food the size of a grain of salt will feed a roach for 6 months...................
“Half the world is starving and before long the whole world will be.”
Where you been? The world was supposed to run out of food sometime in the late 70’s.
My wife has been doing it for years in the kitchen.
Don’t be such a skeptic. Why wouldn’t recycled trash can food be a big seller on supermarket shelves? I hear those freegans are already preordering.
“It is said that one-third of food is wasted in the whole world.”
Lol. There’s nothing quite like science, is there?
Never allow grits to dry in a pot. You’ll have to chunk the pot. Concrete can’t hold a candle to dried grits.
What about rats, bugs and other vermin eating this delicious “concrete”?
A cement steak would probably need a lot of tenderizer.
Fruitcake bricks.
LOL...that is hilarious! Hadn’t seen that before. Thanks for the link!
