It could be argued that the purpose of life is to shit as much as you can. Stay alive for as long as you can so you can eat enough food to shit as much as possible. The more lifetime food consumption (and elimination) the better survival score.
If you eat too much food too quickly, you get sick and die. So, even though you might be ahead early in the game, you have to drop out.
If you eat moderately and healthy, you might not shit as much, but you will live much longer so the lifetime average will lift your score.
Vegetarians would have a slight advantage in this system of analysis because plant based food is naturally high in fiber. This will produce a larger and heavier volume of excrement that a diet based on animal food.
A more accurate measure of survival value could possibly be expressed as a ratio of "mass of excrement to body mass in a given period of time". This ratio would yield a normalized method of more accurately comparing different sized persons.
If this analysis is found to have some merit, then it might give a whole new meaning to the common expression, "He is full of shit."
