#realtalk ep.2: Talking Shat

{Alright, not in the figurative sense here; more like the literal sense. Follow me here.}

Am I the only one who is sick and tired of food blogs covering the cyber-sphere, with foodies coveting their daily meals with snapshots of what’s to be devoured. They seduce us with their treats and nutrient replenishments but fail to discuss the other end of the digestive process:

Their Shit. 

For one, I am not a fan of food blogs nor the food network. Unless you’re providing a recipe to a fun and cool concoction of sorts (one in which screams “try me, try me, try me”), please spare me the daily doldrums of what’s to eat next. There’s got to be more context to your day than food. 

enough rambling here; get to the point! 

We obsess over our next meal; savagely count the hours and minutes to our next lunch break. I remember working corporate jobs where the mantra “when’s lunch/what’s for lunch” would be recited within the 1st hour of work. The excitement of the day was the Taco Burrito Salad that left your stomach in knots by punch time, but damn they were good (o.O)

The end-product of nutrition in this multi-facted mechanism (the human body) lies solidly on the pertinent function of excretion. But I bet you won’t run across a blog about the daily doldrums of taking a shit that often, huh? 

Not sexy is it? … Was it ever meant to be?… I mean really, when was the last time you logged when you shat, how much you shat and bragged about it with pics across the internet.

The answer is no, on both spectrums, eating and excretion, is neither meant to be sexy. Quite contrary they are necessary and complement one another much like ying and yang. 

Where am I going with this? 

The next time you ponder about losing the last (and stubborn) 10 pounds, think about the last time you shat. {Yes folks, you have to look at it before you flush.} If you’re pushing out pebbles but feasting like royalty, it’s a sign that #realtalk, houston’s got a problem. If your deposits are shades of charcoal, then #realtalk, houston might have a serious problem. If you visit your toilet less than 5-6 times a week, Houston’s got a clog and it might be from those lavish dishes you’ve been posting about on your page.
