    Do you know why we like foods with cheese in it? Because poop tastes like cheddar cheese and all food is made partly of poop, otherwise there wouldn't be the waste products to shit out, and everyone has some degree of scat fetish, that's why they enjoy the disguised flavor of shit in their food.
