Can you eat feces?


Question:
It's a serious question; because poop is really just digested food right? Would it be healthy?

Answers:
God, am I really answering this question? Your digestive tract contains a lot of really dangerous bacteria which are utilized to digest your food, but your gut lining is well protected to keep them out of your abdomen. That's why gunshot wounds are so dangerous - you can die of infection very quickly if your stomach contents get out into your body! The leftovers from those bacteria plus a lot of other nasty things such as bile will still be in poop! This is why it smells so bad - your body knows very well that it is very bad for you and will make you sick!
no its full of bacteria.

the reason it's poop is b/c your body got everything good out of it already
Can you get to a Psychiatrist quickly?
Gross...of course it's not healthy!
I dont think so.. it is garbage after all.. I think you would instinctively throw up..
You can seriously eat it, but it is not clean. If you need to survive, you can eat it if you can handle the smell, taste, and image of it. Didn't you hear a story about a girl being locked up in the closet for a long time? And when they found her, she was like an animal because she was never taught or know anything in life. They realized she ate her fingernails and own feces to survive. It's so sad! =/
hell no.
What the hell?
Unless you want to die and reek of sh!t.
Actually it isn't merely digested food; it is digested food loaded with bacteria that are harmless in the normal scheme of things, but can be very bad for you if you ingest it directly.
u can but i dont think u should!

those are wastes full of toxins and yucky stuff. eew
You can eat anything......once...

Feces contains dangerous viruses, bacteria and other nasty germs and toxins. You could get very sick. Stick to fruits and vegies.
Have you heard of e coli?
it is not reccomended. feces contains bacteria which could be harmful to your health. stick with food and forget the idea of eating feces. it is disgusting.
Yuck.it's toxic.
HUMANS CAN EAT ALMOST ANYTHING AND DO. I HAVE SEEN IT DONE ON THE INTERNET. MY QUESTION IS WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO THERE IS NO NURTRIONAL VALUE DOING IT.
Anyone knows that your a teenager, and your not educated. It's simple your questions are not logical. You have idle time on your hands, you bee in the gutter to long. Go wash your hands, and while your at it wash your mouth.
EWWWW
No, all the toxins are excreted in your feces. It is poisonous to your system.

Urine on the other hand is sterile and can be drunk until it is dark yellow. There is a sect of Monks that drink their morning pee every day and it is said to actually be quite healthy. I'll take their word for it though.
I would not advise it! Alot of diseased and parasites are spread through human feces.
No because your body took all the important stuff out of the food before it was digested. The poop is also filled with possibly dangerous bacteria.
poop is digested bacterial waste ...or stuff you didnt need so why would oyu put it back into the body?
technically you can eat it but is most of the time fatal
Theoretically you could eat it, yes. You could also eat mud and marbles and wax and so on. Poo would probably taste horrible, and also normally contains lots of nasty bacteria that would probably give you a horrible case of food poisoning.
Your waste is "poison" so why do you want to eat poisonous waste?
I hope you're an only child.
It's just waste, your body has already asorbed the nutrients of it and your colon is a pretty nasty thing to eat anything out of. Don't cha think?
I have seen dogs eat it though. Pretty Gross!
you should try it and then put it on utube for others to watch, put a pickle on it
I suppose you could take a spoon and go out to your septic tank and experiment and see if it's healthy..I would give you about 3-4 hours at most and you will be in the hospital..it's disgusting/gross and full of bacteria ergo..not the least bit healthy.
er, no. don't, anyways. it's been digested already, so all the nutrients and water has been taken out of it by your intestines. plus there are bacteria that live in your large intestine that are ok in there, but if you swallowed them it probably wouldn't turn out well. however, contrary to what some answerer thinks, there are no viruses in your poo. you would have to ingest viruses for them to be in there in the first place. but unless you've got an ulcer or something it wouldn't matter anyways. just don't do it! sick
yes, there is this stuff called arsenic too it goes really good with shiit
..wow! you should have let everyone think that this was a joke. you do understand that there was this thing in the middle ages that wiped out more than half the population of the "known world" it was called the BLACK PLAGUE! Look it up some time and how the unsanitary conditions that the peasants lived in caused the rapid spread of the bacteria based disease. If it is a bet or just curiosity don't do it you will regret it all the way to the hospital while you are uncontrollably vomiting for hours possibly even days.
