Title: One billion people still defecate in public despite health risks: UN
Post by: Brandon on May 08, 2014, 05:58:49 PM
For the "pooing is cool" crowd:

One billion people still defecate in public despite health risks: UN (http://www.chicagotribune.com/health/sns-rt-us-health-defecation-20140508,0,1065944.story)

QuoteOne billion people worldwide still practice "open defecation" and they need to be told that this leads to the spread of fatal diseases, U.N. experts said on Thursday at the launch of a study on drinking water and sanitation.

"'Excreta', 'faeces', 'poo' ... this is the root cause of so many diseases," said Bruce Gordon, acting coordinator for sanitation and health at the World Health Organization.

And there is an Indian Poo Song.  No, I'm not joking - it's on the link.

What about those that aren't people:

horses, goats, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, llamas, goats, donkeys

They all defecate in public. Do they not get the same diseases?

Why do they always focus on the minority?  The story's title should've been "6 Billion People Poop In Toilets".

This is just downright shitty.


(The Mother's Day card I will give my mom this weekend has a young boy farting out "E=mc^2"....inside it says "Happy Mother's Day from your smart-ass son.")
