Thank you for your sincer and straight forward question.
I knew those physic classes would turn out usefull one day:

Floaters float and sinkers sink because they both are buoyed up
by a force equal to the weight of the water they displace.

Floaters float because they traded their foodstamps for crack. sinkers sink 'cause they spent all their foodstamps on chicken.

I thought it was a matter of density. The density of water being 1.00, anything denser than that sinks and anything less dense floats...

WELL... here's the correct answer. Floaters float because there is air captured inside the turd while it is forming in the sphincter hole and sinkers sink simply because it is more dense than the water and it overcomes the bouyant force of the water.

If you have a lot of floaters then you need more fiber in your diet.
I never have floaters since i developed better dietary habits.

You can start to improve the efficiency of your digestive system simply by eating a bananna for lunch everyday.
The key is to stay away from processed foods, typically those frozen microwave meals.
They are so full of chemicals and preservatives that the body doesn't process them as they should which leads to digestive issues.

Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, meat maybe once or twice a month and stay away from pork all together. pigs are nasty beasts and they eat anything, same with shell fish.

Eating scavengers just opens you up for viral and bacterial infections.

Taking care of the pig pen was my chore as a kid, and i haven't been able to eat pork since, lol.
Oh i do eat bacon from time to time, but it's turkey bacon, not pork.

seri·ous·ly adv.
seri·ous·ness n.
Synonyms: serious, sober, grave, 2solemn, earnest, 1sedate, 1staid
These adjectives refer to manner, appearance, disposition, or acts marked by absorption in thought, pressing concerns, or significant work. Serious implies a concern with responsibility and work as opposed to play: serious students of music. Sober emphasizes circumspection and self-restraint: “My sober mind was no longer intoxicated by the fumes of politics” (Edward Gibbon). Grave suggests the dignity and somberness associated with weighty matters: “a quiet, grave man, busied in charts, exact in sums, master of the art of tactics” (Walter Bagehot). Solemn often adds to grave the suggestion of impressiveness: the judge's solemn tone as she handed down her decision. Earnest implies sincerity and intensity of purpose: disputants who showed an earnest desire to reach an equitable solution. Sedate implies a composed, dignified manner: “One of those calm, quiet, sedate natures, to whom the temptations of turbulent nerves or vehement passions are things utterly incomprehensible” (Harriet Beecher Stowe). Staid emphasizes dignity and an often strait-laced observance of propriety: “a grave and staid God-fearing man” (Tennyson).
