Do you know why we like foods with cheese in it? Because poop tastes like cheddar cheese and all food is made partly of poop, otherwise there wouldn’t be the waste products to shit out, and everyone has some degree of scat fetish, that’s why they enjoy the disguised flavor of shit in their food.

This recipe was terrific. We did have to add a little more milk, but it was amazing. Why can’t you remove the comment that was posted in 2021 about poop? It’s a disgusting and rude comment and I am sure your readers probably don’t appreciate it either.
