WEIRD QUESTION: If your poop does not float in the toilet what are you lacking or eating too much of?

Question:

I know this is a super weird question but I am the kind who will say anything and I wanna know. I heard someone say a bowel movement is considered "healthy" if it floats. Why is that? AND if it doesn't float what are you failing to eat or eating too much of???

Answers:
I don't think your question is weird. I have been studying alternative medicine and natural foods for some years now. It is actually very important to check the consistency and color of your poop. I think it floats when you have enough fiber in your diet. Why? Because then it will be solid and have a nice light brown color to it. If it is sinking then maybe it is not very solid.
For those that are weirded out by this question, think of looking at your poop as taking your car for a "Clean Emissions" test. You'll never know how good your engine is running unless you check the levels of what comes out of your exhaust pipe!

you need more fiber
