Because its made of mostly cellulose (fiber) which is completely indigestible.

Wow, I thought I would only hear a question like that on Oprah. So, I think you should go to oprah.com , and click on "Ask Dr. Oz" ,because apparently he has the answers to everything you always wanted to know about poop.

I think Dr. Oz is gnome-like..personally can't stand him...
Are peanuts high in fiber too?

Just what I want to think about when I'm drinking my morning coffee. Lots of medical sites out there...

Well, you may not like the question, but really, isn't it much nicer to contemplate than, "Why is there poop in my corn?"

Maybe you need to chew more. :)

ooof I agree with BaHa. Yuck. This is a food site not an ask Dr. Levine one.

I used to charge over $100.00 per hour to help people answer questions like that.
But, because of questions like that, I retired :>)

By the way, "Kbear919" . . . aren't you a regular poster at that website, Roadfood.com?
IMHO, this website may not be the appropriate place for your post(s) about what you call "poop."
Of course, that's just MY opinion.

I totally agree, that the question is probably inappropriate for a food site, however, some of the answers did make me laugh. I also do not like Dr. Oz. But what is the difference, if he can answer your question!

I know, I know. I cringed when I first logged on to Serious Eats early this morning and saw this question in the sidebar on the main page. But Kbear's question -- though not the most appetizing thing to read over breakfast -- seemed sincere and was tangentially food-related. Maybe Dr. Oz is a better place for it, but I'd rather allow this thread run its natural course than zap it.

Adam . . . you are always the cool-headed steward of this forum.
We're damned lucky to have you . . . and your input into this website.
But please do not let "A Hamburger Today" suffer too much.

I bet the folks at chowhound are all broken up that they missed out on your poop thread!
