Paying a homeless person to eat dog poop

Do you guys really not understand that eating dog poop is hazardous to your health? It's filled with bacteria... Have you hear of e coli?

Paying someone to eat dog poop is akin to paying someone to eat poison.

Poop comes from the digestive tract. Putting it back into your digestive tract (eating it) probably isn't the same as poisoning yourself. You already have bacteria in your gut, it helps you digest your food.

No.
First, this is dog poop, not human poop.
Second, poop is exactly where e coli comes from.
Poop is the reason we wash and/or thoroughly cook our food before we eat it.

The only thing immoral about this is the existence of a minimum wage in the first place.

Worthless post. You have zero understanding of the dangers of unbridled capitalism.

Forcing a homeless person to eat crap for money is akin to telling a mother to eat crap to save her child's life. Homeless people are literally starving to death. You're taking advantage of this to amuse yourself, while putting their health in danger. If this doesn't strike you as immoral, I can't imagine what does.

First, Mammalian digestive tracts really aren't that different, nor are the bacteria living in them. My dog when she was a puppy used to eat her [censored], horses [censored], pretty much any [censored] she could find. Hasn't fallen over dead yet.
Second, you have a horde of e coli living in your digestive tract right now, and yet somehow you're still healthy.
The main (health) reason for cooking food thoroughly is indeed to kill bacteria, but not from fear of deadly digestive tract borne pathogens. Eating [censored] is disgusting and has poor nutritional value, but isn't going to kill you and definately isn't the same as eating poison as you've suggested.

Not that i would get a thrill out of watching it but still would be nice to know just something came up where i really needed to gross peopel out.

you could probably accomplish that by opening a can of wipe-ass on them.

cheers!

2 things:

Mammals include things like: bats, cows, dolphins, chimps, kangaroos, bears and anteaters.

Some eat plants. Some eat other animals. Some eat both. Some eat insects.

The digestive tracks of all of these are VERY different.

For example, cows have 4 stomachs.


2. You can't assume that, just because your dog didnt die from eating its feces, that it isnt a poison to humans.

I mean... chocolate is poisonous to dogs. Is it to humans?


(fwiw, I dont know if feces is just disgusting, or actually a poison to humans. I am guessing the latter)
