Coprophagia

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coprophagia is the consumption of feces. Many animals eat feces. Some do it only occasionally, others do it all the time. Humans do it only on rare occasions. It is looked down upon in most societies. Eating one's own, or another's feces is widely believed to be bad for health and may lead to a decline in acceptance with friends and family who do not engage in the practice as well.
