As regards the wikipedia entry, I'm not convinced. I too was once of the impression that wolves ate some plant-food in their prey's stomachs. After a discussion on an online cooked-palaeo forum, it was pointed out that wolves actually leave the stomach-contents alone. Besides, I've recently come across so much bias and deliberate distortions of truth on Wikipedia, that I simply don't trust it as a source, with the sole exception of very rare subjects/topics over which nobody feels remotely passionate about.

I stopped eating sauerkraut when I realised that my stools, after consuming it, were massively larger than during times I didn't eat sauerkraut. I suspect poor absorption, or just too much fibre in the stuff.

I haven't had that problem.

wikipedia:
"In most cases, some plant material is essential for adequate nutrition, particularly with regard to minerals, vitamins and fiber. Most wild carnivores consume this in the digestive system of their prey. Many carnivores also eat herbivore dung"

for the record:
myself, i do mouth juiced greens (clover, dandelion, spinach, arugula, miners lettuce, lambsquarters...): pop the leaves in my mouth as soon as i sever them from their plant & then chew chew, drink the juice, spit out the solids (mini-compost)
good for hormesis, i presume

eat snails from a vegetable garden: taste just like the kind of leaf they were sitting on -- predigested greens

& occasionally eat deer dung out in the hills -- if you rub 1 of those little balls with your fingers you'll see the green cream inside

Wow good on you, lots of bacteria. The American Indians used to eat digested plant matter as do most animals eat faeces.

Aajonus also recommends eating crap too especially if you have cancer, if I had cancer I would give it a shot.

I may have already given it a shot Wink
