If it smells that bad something is wrong with your diet.

I feel like you're not picking up on the central point of "worse is worse than bad".

It's half dead bacteria, it's not supposed to smell like a bed of roses.

I can safely say there’s no person whose shit I want to be smelling, regardless of their diet.

That’s not remotely true. There are plenty of health conditions that affect this. Alcohol consumption can affect it. Completely normal diets with specific foods can affect how stinky your poop is. Non standard but healthy diets also can do the same. There’s a lot more to it.

  • You might at least consider it. When I cut most of the processed foods from my diet, that particular bodily function became much less odorous.

    • While yes to a certain extent cutting some processed food and adjusting your diet may help with it, eating a few boiled eggs would set you back massively. It’s not that straightforward.
