Seems like a fairly inefficient system tbqh – is it because we’re eating the wrong stuff? or is it because living organisms create a fixed amount of waste no matter what? Poop is weird. I’d like to understand it better.

I’ve experimented with eating carnivore, and the poops are really interesting. Very infrequent and very small, with no symptoms of constipation. You utilize basically everything when all you’re eating is meat. The carnivore hypothesis is that we evolved over a million years surviving primarily on meat, and eating plants really only in times of scarcity. I’m seeing more and more studies indicating that’s probably true, and if so your question is poignant; we aren’t really designed to be eating as many plants as we currently do.
