Well, someone who makes her living by running a reflexology scam is probably quite willing to tell you all kinds of ridiculous lies like that. Congratulations on seeing trhu the scam so fast, and only going “once”. ---

Most informative, thanks to all who have responded. WRT the cellulose content of the feces having calories that are essentially meaningless, this leads me to the question of the cellulose content of food that hasn’t yet been eaten. Do the standard methods of calculating the caloric content of food include a technique that allows the calories due to cellulose to be left out of the final assigned value, in kcal.gm? ---

[QUOTE=Exapno Mapcase] And floating feces because of high fat content is often a sign that a problem is occurring. [/QUOTE] I never knew that’s what caused floaters. Learn something everyday from the SDMB. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-gross-question-involving-feces/377866.md?page=1)
