Gotta Watch: Poo you'll pay for
If you're easily grossed out or squeamish by the mere mention of words like poop, poo or dung, you've officially been warned. Today's Gotta Watch is all about that and it's inspired by a Chinese businessman whose livelihood thrives on crap.  The thought of willingly consuming this excrement probably hasn't crossed your mind a whole lot, but there are people who choose to offer up quite a bit of money for it. Would you pay to consume something made with poop? Sound off below.

NEWS!
I'm reading this while eating a PB&J. Yum! Betcha my breath won't smell as bad as these potty mouths.
You are what you eat. this does not say much about the Chinese and others who use this nasty crap!
Front page of CNN.com. You people are worthless garbage. No journalistic integrity.
I wouldn't be surprised if poo was in our Starbucks coffee. The USDA would have a field day when they find out every Starbucks store has been serving poo built coffee.
How is this different from the cow manure I buy from Home Depot to fertilize the tomato? What is so gross about it?
Very misleading hook. Like referring to cow poop salads, with a picture of turds on a pile of lettuce, then reading about how manure is used for fertilizer.... Weak.
If u can afford the cost, purchase "Natures Promise" Brands at the grocery store. Our Family has been for just over a year now. The egg shells are so thick you have to really crack them on the pan. Every one of their products actually taste better AND they are healthier for u. Their milk is antibiotic free, and actually tastes like milk USED to taste, and fruits are pesticide free. Funny thing.... After eating right for about a month, we gave up ALL fast food. And no, I don't work for Natures Promise or Whole Foods, I just wanted to share this in hopes PPL will benefit from our discovery.
I truly wish we had thoe stores in our area.
Sadly, we don't...
What kind of news is this? Why is using dung as fertilizer disgusting? Are the people who put this news together really so unaware? Are you guys joking? What is this?
Hmmmm. Tastes a little "nutty".
Most of us wouldn't think of putting it in our mouths, but if you've ever heard a campaign speech, you've let plenty of it go into your ears!
I prefer drinking good old fashioned Poo!
Soylent Brown... woohoo!
and technically, that would have been mixed in with the Soylent Green too! So much to look forward to in the future!
The exotic cat turds sounds great! This ones on me kiddo, gots more where that came from, comin up !
The tea is not made of panda poop - it is normal tea that is FERTILIZED by panda poop. As if we don't fertilize our own crops in the U.S. with manure ourselves! THIS IS NOT A NEWS STORY.
Well, most crops in the U.S. are actually fertilized by petroleum-based chemicals – that is far more disgusting than poop fertilizer.
Also, you might not have noticed the section of the site this article is in. Just because an article isn't about something for you to cower in fear about doesn't mean it's not news.
@ Jeff, um, no. Petroleum is almost exclusively hydrocarbons, with some impurities. Totally useless if you need nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, etc. Common raw materials for commercial fertilizers are typically minerals such as potash and limestone. More and more often now, one can buy "organic" fertilizers from compost or bird guano – for a much higher price, of course.
