Why Don't Humans Drink from the Toilet?

Gina Spadafori over at Pet Connection has a book entitled Why Do Dogs Drink Out of the Toilet?

Now the good folks at Slate have dared to ask how come human's don't?

Considering how fast the population is growing in the American West, and how little water there actually is out there, it's a pretty good question.

In fact, truth be told, we are drinking toilet water already. As I have noted in the past, every gallon of water on earth has passed through an animal at least once. Remember bears do shit in the woods. So too do deer, mice, birds, raccoons, possums ... and humans too. That pristine mountain stream has fish and newt feces all through it as well.

Get over it. A little of it is probably good for you.
