I warn you, this may be too gross for some of my readers.
Far be it from me to meddle in the affairs of other nations, but damn China! What’s up with that????
There is a lot to talk about here, but they gather the “discharge” from the toilets of local schools? I don’t know about China, but have you ever seen a public school toilet? I have. No way would you want to boil an egg in anything that came out of there.
Of course, there are some real benefits from drinking, er, discharge. From wikipedia which I swear is just gross: Urine was used in several ancient cultures for various health, healing, and cosmetic purposes, practices which are still used by some people of these cultures today. In Western culture, these practices are known as urine therapy, a form of alternative medicine.
There are also no real drawbacks: Consuming one’s own urine (or the urine of a healthy person, if participating in urolagnia involving urophagia) is relatively low in risk.
Of course the biggest drawback is that it is just totally disgusting.
On the other hand, if they videotape it they may just be on to something:
WARNING: THIS GETS EVEN GROSSER
(Saarah, if you have read this far please leave now.)
2 Girls 1 Cup is the unofficial nickname of the trailer for Hungry Bitches, a 2007 Brazilian scat-fetish pornographic film produced by MFX Media. The trailer features two women conducting themselves in fetishistic intimate relations, including defecating into a cup, taking turns ostensibly consuming the excrement, and vomiting it into each other’s mouths. “Lovers Theme” by Hervé Roy, from the movie Delusions of Grandeur, plays throughout.
This one-minute preview is a viral video that became a well-known Internet meme in itself, and for the reactions its graphic content elicited from viewers who have not seen such films before.Around mid-October 2007, video sites such as YouTube were flooded with videos depicting others’ reactions to watching the video for the first time. Many other reaction videos have now appeared for similarly shocking and extreme videos.
And no, I am not posting a link. This is not the Late Night Movie House of Crap, Literally.
Why would people be so into drinking pee?
The question is Imponderable. To me, anyway.

This is actually, or so it would seem, an echo of the Chinese culinary tradition of making ” Thousand – Year eggs ” which are ** SUPPOSEDLY ** 1,000 years old, when the simple truth is that they’re cooked in lime until the end – product is something that tastes 1,000 old.
Would I try it ? NO.
Drinking of urine is part of a treatment in India & China called the ” Golden Water Therapy ” & is largely homeopathic ( New Age type therapy ) in nature. There are weirder forms of therapy in other cultures, believe me. & I’ve read about the medieval process of using Egyptian mummies as medicine.

Nobody ever said that the Wonderful World of Cultural Anthropology was always pretty. 😉 You come across plenty of weird, nay, even hair – raising stuff.
If you want some real insights into other culinary matters – watch ” Soylent Green “. & there are lots of articles about ( ground ) mummies as medicine. It was on the market from the early 1800’s until the 60’s – in NYC.

It’s a classic. It foretold global warming before Al Gore did. 😉 I’d love to order it, but Netflix SNAFU – FU’ed my account.

Edgar G. Robinson is great in that film. So is Heston but Robinson has a better role, Heston is a little more one-note.

Charlton Heston was genuinely sad & showed it in the scenes where he was following Edward G. Robinson’s body after the ” funeral ” / memorial service, because Robiinson actually had some form of inoperable cancer.

It is a classic–parts of it seem to be coming true unfortunately.

Yes, mainly the ” greenhousing ” of Earth. If I recall correctly, Earth was slowly, steadily becoming like Venus, approximately.

Yes and there was a massive gap between the rich and poor with corporations running everything.

Seems almost like real life to me. & of course corporations can be designated as ” people ” now, legally.
