I doctor friend once told me that it's much healthier to shit squatting than to sit on toilets as westerners do.... something about long term effects, organ health..... something....
Supposedly it's better for the plumbing because less force is required.Someone just needs to design a raised platform to place around western styled toilets so we can get the "squatting" experience here the USA. Sell it on an infomercial and talk about the health benefits.
BAM!!
