My elementary school teacher told us once that Americans only poop once a week. The climate is colder in North America, so their intestines pack the poop together very densely such that they only need to poop once a week. She said you’d be sent to the doctor if you poop daily in America.

Is this true?

    It’s possible an anecdote like this is what gave your teacher that idea.

    Maybe.

    But I also remember that she was a little xenophobic. Maybe she just made that up on the spot lol
