The death rate is 100% among those who eat lots of fiber, and 100% among those who very little.
Your choice.

No. People have gone a long time between poops. I think the record is about 1 year in a person who
wasn't sick though.

Are you saying he'll never die?

No. Just that he could live a long and healthy life without eating fiber. The astronaunts who went
to the moon ate a low-residue diet (not fiber-free, but little fiber) because the facilities to [censored]
were lacking (they basically had a bag with adhesive to seal the bag to their butts). It took more
than one person to get everything to work right and took a couple of hours. It was quite disruptive,
especially considering that the cabins on the space craft were not large. And there was no way to go
in the lunar module (although the astronaunts wear like a diaper, in case they had to go on the
moon). So decreasing the number of BMs the astronaunts had was a good idea.

I wouldn't recommend that, though. (I mean not eating fiber -- I like the long and healthy life
part ;-) ).

Yes.

You will also die if you eat lots of fiber, or 'just the right amount' of fiber.

You are going to die, I am going to die,* we're all going to die.

*Actually, I'm not going to die - I am going to be frozen. I have started making preparations - I
have a giant Zip-Loc freezer bag and I'm writing the required nutritional information on the side...
including, 'Not a significant source of fiber.'
