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?

    I suppose your teacher read a statistic that Americans are more likely to be constipated due to more cheese and less veggies and fruits in their diets, and constipated people on average poop less, and just simplified this trivia in their long-term memory and lost the details.
