Kopi Luwak scat coffee

[raw-al]

Ok I don't know if I am gullible or if this is a joke or if this is real but this takes the cake or oops gluten free rice patty.

What's the deal on this? Is this legit or what?

And very expensive, I first heard about it on "the bucket list" movie.

It is not just disgusting. It is also harmful to the relevant animals:-

raw animal feces from healthy animals has the same effect as high meat. Some people use that when they cant wait for meat to ferment and it has the same effect.

Every animal except civilized humans eats feces.

I know sometimes dogs eat poo but I thought that was only because domestic animals eat feed that isnt digested, particularly good smelling oils, and the dogs have a good enough sniffer to tell that there is tasty oils and undigested food in the poo so they want it. My dogs dont eat wild poo if we go on hikes, they'll smell it, but leave it alone. Cat poo from domestic cats, however, feast on!

Yes it is real.
We have a lot of that civet cat coffee sold in organic shops in Manila.
Nowadays though as seen on an investigative journalist piece, these scat coffee are no longer wild.
They cage the animals to assure supply and keep the quality of the poop.
