OMG, are you serious?

Ok, let's play a game then: Here's a group of 100 people. Your assignment:

1. Find 10 women who already track their cycle because it's important to them.

2. Find 10 people who already track their poop because it's important to them.

You'll probably need to ask about 10 women to finish assignment #1, maybe 12. You'll never be able to finish assignment #2.

...hence the need for the tracker. I get the utility aspect for ladies. i agree that this is a rather big and silly oversight by Apple.

This being understood, digestive health is in a very poor place in my country ['murka] and if people watched their shit and urine color, they would lead fuller, more productive lives.

So, yes, i'm serious.

EDIT 01 To your point, most women who want to track do; i feel fairly confident in saying that most people don't even know you can track health through feces, much less how.

An index of colors, textures, warning signs, and the ever popular blaaaaaack pooooo caused by peptobismol. stories from sufferers of IBS, Chron's, Cancer. There is a universe in our guts, and a pantheon of actors, good and bad, vying for control of the reaches of the lands of greater and lesser Colon.

Dramatic? Maybe, but i think you might be surprised how much tracking your temple's output with the same fervor that many apply to their input, your health [==life] will be better.
