"Tell that to the unwashed hordes who worship...never mind." A quote of yours from above sounds like religion to me. If it isn't what is it?
Four guys are walking down the street and happen upon a steaming pile of what looks like Pekelo's poop. The first guy bends down and gives it a sniff. He says, "Hmm. It smells like shit." The second guy leans over, sticks his finger in the pile and feels its texture, and comments, "It also feels like shit." The third guy, FortuneTeller, scoops up a bit of it, puts it in his mouth and rolls it around in there. Finally, he says "It tastes like shit, too." The fourth guy says, "Lucky we didn't step in it."
Shit nutritional value: Fresh feces contains around 75% water and the remaining solid fraction is 84–93% organic solids. These organic solids consist of: 25–54% bacterial biomass, 2–25% protein or nitrogenous matter, 25% carbohydrate or undigested plant matter and 2–15% fat. I would think if someone ate their own poop...it would be harmless. Yet, should be a different story if someone ate another person's poop or the poop of an animal (e.g. dog) wrbtrader
I grew up in a rural community, farms, and county fairs...literally with a dairy farm in our back yard. Many years of smelling shit before we moved to the north suburbs of Chicago... Most days with a fresh smell of cow manure. The worst shit smelly days were on very hot days during family barbecues outside. The kid from the farm in the back of our house...a good friend and very bright too...received an A+ on his science project by showing what Cow Shit smells like when you remove ammonia from the shit in comparison to removing hydrogen sulfide from the shit. He then said when the two bi-products are removed in combo...shit is almost odorless, the taste is OK, and is harmless to consume. My point with the above story, I don't care if you're a smart-ass farm boy that would go on to get a graduate degree in Biochemistry from the University of Kentucky...he couldn't convince me to taste cow poop back then... Nobody can even if they're polite. wrbtrader
