Long term problems

Sorry if this post is.... a bit disgusting, but.....

In regards to the toilet paper issue. In that post-shtf world where such luxuries will soon dwindle, is there a diet that we could attempt to adhere to that wouldn't require the use of, or at least, not as much paper or suitable replacement? I say this simply because when my dog does his business, there's no wiping needed, so why can't we try to attain this level of waste management as it would benefit us on so many levels?

One of life's great ironys is that the only way you know you didn't have to wipe your ar$e, is by wiping your ar$e!

I believe, though I'm no vet, that ability comes from a more physical level than diet. There's a secretion that occurs that removes the need for wiping. If you were to check the anus of a dog immediately after you would notice a small amount 'hanging on'. Also have you ever noticed how much a dog licks that particular area lol.

And continuing that theme Lapdogs once were used for that purpose by the rich.

In some cultures it's all about the way you squat, so then you don't have to wipe your bum.

Sorry if I'm putting some of you off your breakfast but if you squat low with a wider spread on your legs your butt cheeks are wider apart so when you 'go' you have no need to wipe.

However, this would take practise so not to fall over!! And be able to get up afterwards!!! Oh and a hole in the ground as opposed to a toilet type convenience.

Whilst in college, my friend used to have shredded wheat for breakfast, which gave him, what he referred to as, and I quote
"..clean sh*ts..", " ..the feeling that you don't even need to wipe."
I don't know why I remember that.
