Between fecal transplant therapy and San Diego’s ill-conceived sewage treatment outreach, I declare today Poop Day on the Oyster’s Garter. As a bonus, please enjoy Sam’s list of poop-related children’s books.

Personally, I want to write a heartwarming tale of all the different animals who eat poop. It’s a legitimate life history choice, kids! Bunnies do it, filter-feeders like mussels do it, the entire deep sea depends on it! Let’s do it, let’s eat some poop!

Perhaps this would not be the best outreach method of all time.
