This is probaby a bit of a hypothetical question but if you had the purest of foods and only ate enough to satisfy your body's needs...would you ever have to poop?

Actually, no, because about a third of every poop is dead inner body cells being expelled from your body via your intestines.

yeah...no you would eventually HAVE to poop, because even the purest of foods is still food. your body doesn't need the food as much as it does the proteins and vitamins and stuff inside them, the actual food is just a carrier that normally gets pooped out. I guess maybe, if you did nothing but drink fluids you wouldn't poop, youd still pee, but i don't know how long you could live on just fluids before you're body started eating itself.

The early space mission had this idea. Food was served in tubes and the idea of not having to defecate in space was desireable to the leaders. Have a read at what happened to the astronauts! Short answer was that it is better to have fibre in the diet.

I'm sure its theoretically possible, but not very pleasant, I love to eat...food, not poop.
I think, what we should do is enhance the waste disposal system.
If we could defecate hermetically sealed poop it wouldn't be quite as unpleasant and can be disposed of more easily.... or recycled into fuel!

No, because poop consists partially of gut bacteria. These would continue to live, and die, in your gut even if you totally digested all the food that you ate.

the human body doesn't work like that.
I knew a girl who pooped only every five to ten days, but that's another story.

I would hate to have to spend a week in the mind of yours. If food goes in; it must come out.

Yep, cuz during egestion u pass out other stuff too. u would probably only go a few times a week, though.

Probably, since no matter what, your body produces waste products - even if they're not the result of digestion.
