Was just reading an article that stated sinking or stinking feces is an indicator of poor digestion. Stating cooking destroys the enymes that foods provide to aide the process. Floaters, sinkers, opinions?
I can’t believe that I read, or am responding to this thread.
This sounds like raw food/vegan propaganda. Just my opinion.
Although I’m sure there is no shortage of folks who think their sh-- don’t stink.
There was line back there and you crossed it.
The only poop factoid I am aware of is that floaters may indicate that your diet has too much fat content. So if sinking and floating are equally problematic, what then are the defining characteristics of the optimal poop experience? I shall go sit on the throne and ponder this awhile…
I always thought it was the opposite. Floaters imply a diet rich in fiber. Also the more fiber you have the less wiping you have to do. Think about horses, cows,… they never wipe.
I think we may need to buy you a copy. 
apples poop?
Wow. A poop joke and a Trigonometry joke in the same post. The party has just gotten going in here. 
This thread is wrong…
No, silly, the apple becomes poop after you eat it. It’s all quite miraculous really. (I think Powerbars go out essentially unchanged.)
You really have to read the book. That and The Gas We Pass. Not just educational children’s books, they’re great fun for the whole (uptight) family.
You’ll fine everything you need to know here:

You can tell the whole story by the cover.
The horse eats the apple, the kid eats the horse, and the bird craps on the kids head while he’s out running in the park.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with sinkers.
However, if you have especially foul-smelling, oily stool it might mean you have fat malabsorbtion
You want shit? Life is shit…there…and I have that sinking feeling…
i think when i have more gatorade & powerbars than I can handle, my poop turns kinda green…
Actually most floaters are due to gases in the stool, like methane. This can be due to lots of beans or soluble fiber, or lactose intolerance, etc. Unless you have a fat malabsorption problem you should have enough bile salts to help you absorb most of your fat.
Too many habanero peppers and it kinda burns. At least there aren’t any smoke or flames.

However, if you have especially foul-smelling, oily stool it might mean you have fat malabsorbtion. Can you explain or point me somewhere to get more info on this? I mean, this guy i work with would like to know more about this subject, can you help him…
Neutral buoyancy is the objective.
Man, this is way too anal. I’ve never had any objectives when it comes to fecal bouyancy. I mean, I like to set goals and all, but I’ve not really developed a plan to ensure proper stool specific gravity and all.
