A middle-grade nonfiction debut tackling stomach-churning information about the animal poop, pee, vomit, and secretions that humans have eaten—and often still do! From Roman charioteers scarfing down goat dung to astronauts guzzling their own pee to kids today spreading insect vomit on toast, this compendium of hideously amusing science and history is full of fun and funny facts. A scientific history, it explores some of the grossest things we humans put into our mouths—often without even realizing it. Bug secretions coating your candy corn. Rodent poop in your popcorn. Insect vomit on your PB&J. It's deliciously disgusting!
