Maybe i don't quite understand how our digestive system operates, but it is my understanding that our body breaks down, absorbs and uses what it can and disposes of the remainning material which cannot be absorbed via excretion.
My question: given all the advances we have made, why aren't we any closer to inventing a "perfect" food, one which contains only components which will be entirely absorbed in the colon, leaving no remainder to be excreted?
No shit: with such a food we may never need to throw stinky offerings at the porcelain god.
