Regardless of true causes, this is not the worst place to start for a solution. “Eat less, move more, look for other causes.”
Daughter’s prophylactic colastic dynastic tactic did not give health and wings and squeeable reboot and yogic incumbency, but it is as though the 49m. problems are taking interviews at length to remedy the perceived shortcoming.
What do obesity processes drop when cut down that we’d want, if we’re going to farm them?
My point was that eating yogurt is a lot easier to sell people on than rinsing someone’s colon with another persons strained poo… 
I wonder what they’ll think when someone buys their poo and puts in a blender…
Crazy westerners!!

Maybe a doctor will prescribe living in the wilderness, foraging for tubers and cooking them communally. I could see that procedure improving the health of many people.

I imagine it depends on your total starting weight for that year to a certain degree. 36 pounds is a pretty hefty percentage of your total starting weight if you weigh 120 or less to begin with. I’d be pretty upset about 36 pounds in a year even at my current weight which is substantially more than 120.
Yeah. I feel we’re just getting started on this but that gut flora is a whole new world of opportunities for discovery about how humans really work on a biological level.
I feel like the best solution to that, though, is to change the underlying societal factors that lead to that inequality in the first place. While it’s kind of cool to imagine people subsisting on basically wood (which I’m assuming is what you mean since we already eat cellulose to a certain degree), it’s pretty crap to expect that some folks should eat wood because it’s (hypothetically) food now.
We have enough food to feed everyone properly at our current population levels and I’m not trying to suggest that you want impoverished regions to eat wood. Just saying it’s a very likely consequence of going that route without fixing our underlying problems.
The British let the Irish starve during the potato famine not because there weren’t enough edible potatoes in Ireland to feed the Irish but because the British didn’t want to give up their cheap potatoes. Right now, the western world is doing basically the same thing on a much larger scale.
There’s a chance “Billy” is right but it’s too soon to say. This story is potentially an amazing data point … but it could turn out to be nothing but an unrelated (to feces) fluke. It’s still an interesting flag that says—very loudly—“Hey, look at me! Something cool might be here!”

It might even be that, yes, consuming her daughter’s poop saved her, and then still had nothing to do with the weight gain. (That’s what I am saying.) You don’t have to accept the whole chain to think something may be up.
Yep, I’m not disagreeing. Just … caveat-ing. Or something to that effect.

While I don’t dispute this, I consider the genetic engineering as a more realistic and easier achievable alternative.

No need to play musical chairs with people’s poop. You can just use antibiotics to assassinate your poorly performing flora. What could go wrong?
