As a parent of young children, I have had sustained exposure to a diverse medley of fecal specimens varying in color, odor, consistency, and texture. Is there a particular stripe I should be targeting for transplanting from my children’s into my own microbiome?

I know you mean well but boy did this come off as profoundly weird.

There comes a point as a parent where this kind of humor is very normal. :)

[rusk]

Environmental faecal matter is just another one of those things!

[wrycoder]

Humor? Seemed factual to me!

[mushbino]

I don't think we're too far off from people selling children's fecal specimens. I bet Peter Thiel is already doing just that.

[pkphilip]

:) yes, quite disturbing!

No its not, people are just ignorant. You eat ton of shit.

CTO of Microsoft wrote 6 books on molecular gastronomy named Modernist Cousine [1]. There are lots of pages in first book about managing environmental fecal matter (hint: there is a LOT of it around you and in the food you eat).

Why would your children have a more diverse biome than your aged self?

[majkinetor]

Its not more diverse, its different.
