Ecological Poopprint
The average American produces about 323 pounds of poop per year. This is because for every 12 pounds of body weight, roughly 1 ounce of poop is produced. I currently weigh 230 pounds, so I produce more like 430 pounds of poop per year. If every overweight person could reduce their body weight and food consumption to the point where they produce 100 pounds less poop per year, that would be a significantly less amount of poop on the Earth and would be good for the environment. This would require lowering your body mass by 60 pounds, assuming that is reasonable. We can do it! For Mother Earth!
