> [@CalMeacham](#): > > A book I’ve mentioned many times on this Board, **End Product: The First Taboo** by Dan Sabbath, contains at least one account of this. No doubt there are others. End Product is an unbelievably odd book on the topic of feces. I’ve only ever seen the one copy, which I own.

Horse poop. Not intentionally, just didn’t wash my hands after skipping out a stable, before I ate my lunch. Which was a sandwich. I know I’m not the only pony owner who has done this… ---

Insofar as that I have eaten a number of different species of animals whole (mostly invertebrates), I must have eaten poop. I must have eaten it as a contaminant in other contexts, but never purposely. ---

Well, if you have eaten processed food, you have ingested some poop. As for candy bars, the FDA allows a miniscule amount of rodent droppings in each and every one. But we are much better off than the Edwardians-if you lived in a city like NYC or London, the horses dropped enormous amounts of manure on the streets-this stuff got dried out, pulverized by the wagon wheels, and the wind blew it everywhere-that blueberry pie placed upon the window to cool, collected its share of dried manure. Going further back (early 1800’s) pigs roamed Manhattan (they ate the garbage that was thrown out on the streets). We’ve come a long way! ---

Well…I was 2 weeks overdue, and ingested “poop” in the womb. Don’t remember, but was told by my mother. I guess I was too cozy to come out. ---
