My elementary school teacher told us once that Americans only poop once a week. The climate is colder in North America, so their intestines pack the poop together very densely such that they only need to poop once a week. She said you'd be sent to the doctor if you poop daily in America.

Is this true?

The average is 7.1 times a week. Clinically average can range from 3x a day to once every 3 days. What's important is how well they're formed. Such as the Bristol stool scale - you want something in the middle.

I've always found scatology interesting. If you have anymore questions, feel free to let uhm rip.
