My elementary school teacher told us once that Americans only poop once a week. The climate is colder in North America, so their intestines pack the poop together very densely such that they only need to poop once a week. She said you’d be sent to the doctor if you poop daily in America.

Is this true?

    I have a friend that’s a “fruitarian”

    I could have sworn that’s exactly how Steve Jobs ended up dying lol (But I’m not a doctor)

    You should really try to inform your friend the dangers of such a severe gap in a biologically-driven omnivore’s diet and the future health consequences. Even a single potato would go a really long way.

    Edit: Nvm, I scrolled past the tl;dr and didn’t see that you’ve attempted to numerous times already

      My big thing was cook your vegetables and limit fruit intake, especially because he prizes over ripe and high fructose fruit.

      He’d basically would leave fruit out to rot, covered in fruit flies, and then he would still eat that shit. I got him to put that shit in a bowl and cover it with a towel.

      He would complain though. The flies need to eat, too.

      So he would throw compostable material around his yard… Which arrested pests, naturally. Then there was the rats in the walls and ceilings… But the rent was cheap!
