I didn't know squat.

I just read in the latest issue of The Mother that we all poop wrong. Unless we squat. Squatting is the natural way to go (ha). When we sit on the toilet, we actually create a blockage in the anal canal! Imagine. Apparently, countries that do squat to poop have much lower rates of colon cancer. Constipation is also caused by sitting on the loo. And if you notice, kids naturally squat until we potty train them.
