Let’s Talk About The Big “P”
on July 29th, 2009
Get your mind out of the gutter! You may think what I’m about to discuss is nasty, but not nasty the way you were thinking.
he If you are familiar with dog food, you may know that the first ingredient is what the food is mostly comprised of. For instance, if the first ingredient is chicken, the dog food is made up mostly of chicken. If the first ingredient is corn, it is made up of corn more than anything else. You get my drift.
Well, some brands of dog food, like Puppy Chow, aren’t necessarily made up of the best ingredients while others like Science Diet has better ingredients. So why does this matter and what does it have to do with the big “P?” Poop.
I’m talking about Poop, Boo Boo, Doo Doo, number 2 and whatever else makes you feel comfortable about solid wastes.
Years ago I had a dog and someone told me the quality of food played a role in how much poop I was going to be picking up. That caused me to listen right away. See, quality food is used by the body more efficiently and the dog will poop less, but food of lesser quality will force the dog to poop more and the poop will be less dense, if you know what I mean.
Why Am I Even Thinking About This?
I’m trying to get in better shape and lose some weight in the process. I have several reasons for wanting to be in better shape: I want to be around longer for my daughter, I want to feel better, I want to perform better when working out, etc.
The hardest part is eating right; it is even harder for me because I love fried chicken. With the help and guidance of my friend Sam I’ve started eating better – I still have a long way to go – and eating better takes me back to my dog.
Can you guess what immediate results I’ve noticed since I’ve been eating better? Yep, I don’t have the bubble guts as much and when I have a #2 it is more dense. It may be nasty to talk about, but you know how it is when you have one of those experiences where you come out of the bathroom and want to get on your knees and thank God? Eat a little better and those times will be few and far between.
For today, that is what this man is thinking about!
