On shit

My wife tells me that there are really three main causes for child mortality in third world countries: lack of food, lack of sanitation (death by diarrhea caused by cholera and other diseases caused by fecal matter in water), and mosquitoes. We've got host of organizations looking after the first, and Rick Mercer and Belinda Stronach taking on the last. Who will be the first celebrity to take up the middle (and arguably largest) cause?

This article takes a look at the second. I'd never thought I'd see the day when, in a Christian magazine, the topic of discussion would be shit. Given my heritage, I took no umbrage. What did you think?
