It's 63 percent protein, 25 percent carbohydrates, 3 percent lipids and 9 percent minerals.

There is one SMALL problem with it though, at least for me ;)

    What makes it perfect for dieting is that it causes extreme loss of apetite - so gross.

    Exactly! LOL

    And if someone says it tastes like $h\+, well, that's like saying you won't eat mackerel because it taste fishy ;)

    Well duh! :)

    I heard about this today. It made me queasy. You aren't supposed to eat your own waste...I don't care how they do it. So gross.

    Exactly! Its called waste for a reason! I am also one of those that only read the link. There's no way anything can convince me that it is okay to eat poop of any kind. ANY KIND!!!!

    I do know... that molecules can be separated... it is protein, normal protein, but like the video said it's the psychological barrier. I think I can build up the courage to 'taste" it...

    I just had my dog at the vet the other day and the doc says Tundra needs to lose 10 pounds (like me!). Dr. Tom pointed out that even if you're feeding the dog the right amount of food, dogs often get extra calories by 1. scamming food from the neighbors who may leave it out for their dog or cat or 2. eating other animal's poop. So the last 2 days when we've been walking I paid close attention, and sure enough, my dog is eating every poop he finds except other dogs'. (ex: bear, moose, fox etc.) So in addition to too much food all winter, he's getting extra "snack" food on the trail.

    So if a dog can gain weight eating too much poop, I guess we could too, so be careful! ; - )
