I've always wonder why people here in China are always so skinny but yet they can eat 3 times as much as I can. Their secret is the Floor Toilet! Here in China, their toilet is built into the ground so there is no nasty toilet seats with pee all over it. All you have to do is lower your pants, squat, and do your thing! I guess that position helps pressure all the food that you eat, out of your system so you can feel 10 lbs lighter after you're done. (BTW, those are just my theory of why they're skinny....not actual fact) Once you're done, there is a little foot pedal that you step on to flush it so you don't even have to touch anything with your hands. I actually kinda like it more than the sit down toilets except those times you are really tired and just want to sit down and relax but you can't caz you get tired just squating like that for awhile. Anywayz....I have a sit down toilet at my apt so I get to relax as long as I want!

not just china has them. these are originating from the old days when you just pooped into a hole in the floor, into a sewage tank. can find them in public places in eastern europe - its really easy to maintain. i dunno if they squeeze the stuff out but it surely is hard to do the 'full squat' with the kind of belly that i have now :))), let alone obesity you find here in the midwest. chinese don't yet eat fat with candy, do they?
Looks cool but I don't know how to handle the "low comfort" level. I think I'd get tired of squatting.
