several warm days...
this is marvelous.

several free meals...
also marvelous.

several nerdy moments...
absolutely marvelous.

so lemme share my insight.

this is why eating helps keep the poopin' regular...
your digestive system works best when you're at rest.
and running around and not eating is not conducive towards regular contraction of your digestive tract. Note: your digestive tract also includes your colon.
but when you sit down and eat, your digestive tract get going (peristalsis) and therefore, you can keep a schedule. throw in some fiber in the diet and you'll have happy campers all around.

it's a brillant system, i tell you...
