The funniest part about this is that squatting is actually more healthy for you. So all you "advanced" westerners are really just talking shit.(pun intended) Don't let facts get in the way of all this egocentrism.

"In the 1970's Denis Burkitt practiced medicine in Uganda. He noticed that there were not incidences of colon cancer, IBS, etc. After studying this phenomenon he came to two conclusions. 1. He thought that roughage and the lack of it in the Western diet might be the culprit. 2. People that used the squatting position to have a bowel movement did not seem to incur these various diseases.Western researchers pretty much ignored the number 2 observation and jumped on number 1 (roughage) as the reason.
