Assessing the quality of one's diet
Discussion
Now, I think that me and Mrs CJ eat a pretty good diet - lots of fresh things, very little processed food, not much fat, keep a very close eye on the old sugar and salt - but I'm no nutritionist; I just know what I like to eat.
What resources are there out there for working out whether what I've got is a balanced diet, especially in terms of vitamin this and mineral that?

According to Wikipedia:
The seven types of stool are:
Type 1: Separate hard lumps, like nuts (hard to pass)
Type 2: Sausage-shaped, but lumpy
Type 3: Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface
Type 4: Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft
Type 5: Soft blobs with clear cut edges (passed easily)
Type 6: Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool
Type 7: Watery, no solid pieces (entirely liquid)
Types 1 and 2 indicate constipation, with 3 and 4 being the "ideal stools" especially the latter, as they are the easiest to pass. 5-7 being further tending towards diarrhea
Nothing about floating so I may be wrong - any experts around?

Look up a guy called Patrick Holford. He does a questionairre thing I believe.What resources are there out there for working out whether what I've got is a balanced diet, especially in terms of vitamin this and mineral that?
m8 reckons when he goes for a dump, he pops out granite lumps, apparently it tears him inside and red stuff comes out, drinks maybe litre of water per day on plastering job....
one day he might learn, but not soon I guess
tend to eat a lot of fibre, but not suspect the chillis and the garlic were the reason for the bowl getting sprayed mostly brown in about 3-4 seconds
