> [@Monty](#): > > Years ago, one dude in my circle of friends decided to try something he called ā€œthe baby food dietā€. He only ate Gerber baby food. A couple of days into that, he cleared out the shipā€™s head. Imagine, if you will, the stench from the first baby diaper you had to change. I have spent an unjustifiable amount of time puzzling over what could have caused this effect. The best suggestions I can come up with are a) he ate products high in sulfur-rich foods like cruciferous vegetables, and sulfur makes your poo stinkier; b) the diet shifted his gut flora in the direction of stinkier bacteria, possibly because he wasnā€™t digesting these unfamiliar foods properly. Iā€™ve never noticed baby poop being routinely worse-smelling than adult poop, on average, but I donā€™t have very extensive experience with either kind (barring my own, natch). ---

Could be (among other things) a lack of fiber. Even if all else is equal, a liquid stool means a lot more exposed surface area to admit stink per volume than a solid stool. And, in terms of the toilet, a much greater chance that the splatter is adhering to portions of the toilet that arenā€™t being fully washed clean by the water. Thatā€™s leaving out @Kimstuā€™s rational answers as well. I do know that when I substantially change my diet for any reason, there is frequently digestive issues, with consequences for me and anyone else in my vicinity albeit generally for relatively short periods of time. Ketosis as a single example does lead to a much more offensive urination byproduct than most. ---

Itā€™s odd that the SSA didnā€™t question his citizenship when they assigned him a Social Security number, but all of a sudden it was an issue when he went to collect benefits. Iā€™d be pissed at the government if I was him, Trump supporter or no. On the other hand, whereā€™s his birth certificate? Seems like a Canadian b.c. should have been a big red flag to many government agencies throughout his lifetime. ---

Iā€™ve told the story before, but my momā€™s second husband came over from Finland as a minor after WWII. Air Force, jobs, paid taxes, etc. until his father died and they wanted to take his ashes back to Finland. It was only then that he found out he wasnā€™t a citizen. (He did apply for, and did receive, U.S. citizenship.) ---

After finishing the article, I was about to ask how you know heā€™s a Trump supporter until I scrolled back to the top and looked at the picture more closely. So this guy is basically a DREAMer? Brought to US as a kid, grew up here, loves the country and doesnā€™t really have a home in his ā€œcountry of originā€? Democrats in Congress should amend the DREAM Act to cover folks like him. I wonder if Marco Rubio would vote for that? ---

This guy supports a former president and current presidential candidate who despises immigrants and is adamantly opposed to citizenship for Dreamers. My sympathy for him is non-existent. He seems like a perfect example of someone who supports the [Leopards Eating Peopleā€™s Faces Party](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/leopards-eating-peoples-faces-party). I think he should reap what he has sown and be prosecuted for voting illegally, followed by deportation after a period of incarceration. (I also think that the laws regarding Dreamers and undocumented immigrants should be revised.) ---
