I've heard two different opinions - one that poo floats because the pooper is eating too mch fat, therefore floaters are a sign of poor diet.

I have also heard that it floats because it is full of fibre (which swells up in the gut and is therefore lighter than the average waste). Therefore floaters are to be coveted.

Personally I tend towards the latter, although telling you why would probably involve TMI.

BTW I find the worst ones in the whole world are alcohol poos - Guinness and red wine topping the poll. Hard, black and hard to pass (Shaft!)
