Why do dogs eat their own poop? What if humans ate their poop? Could we get rid of toilets? If so, we'd be saving a lot of water. But then if you had guests over for dinner, would poop be the dessert or the meal? They say dogs eat their own shit cuz they can smell the nutrients and all that other crap that's in it. So, if I were to eat three meals today and then shit later, I wonder how many times the poop could be recycled, maintaining the essential nutrients and vitamins and so forth. At least we wouldn't have to worry about world hunger, if you're only eating real food a few times or once a week, depending on the recycability factor of the poop, there'd be enough food for everyone. That then raises the question of whether it's safe to eat someone else's poop. Philosophers should have pondered these questions instead of wondering about whether the earth was flat and if planets revolved around the sun. The answers to those questions are much easier then answering the questions of poop eating survival.
