Poop.....

I realized within the last few months that a normal bodily function that people warely talk about is now a very popular topic of discussion.
This function is a bowel movemnt, doing a number two, dodoo, making stinkstink and there are so many other verbs that discribe this action, the most popular one of late is POOP.
In an effort to bring awareness to healthy living and to be more conscious of what we eat more and more experts, talk show host and guests are constantly discussing our poop..

On the Dr Oz show you will hear some of the reasons you get constipated and don't poop as much as you should and how to try to change that.  On four different talk show I've watched Cameron Diaz talk about her body book, explaining that "not because you chew something, swallow it and POOP it out make it good for you"

 I have heard that if your poop floats that means you have too fat in your diet.  We are encouraged to look at out poop. My questions are how and why? I can't tell by looking in the toilet if my poop is good or bad, and even if I think something looks odd what should I do.
Most of us don't look in the toilet, we do our business, wipe, flush and get up. In any case, we are encouraged to look as a part of knowing what is the result of what we are putting our body.
I once heard that if you look at a toddler's poop and then at a fifty year old's, you will find that the the toddler have a larger poop. The explanation is that you feed your baby healthier than you feed yourself and also that a toddler's colon is much healthier.
Facts or not, it's something to consider the next time you need to POOP.
