  "abstract": "The food you eat is full of things your body needs to survive, called “nutrients,” and things it cannot use, called “waste.” Your body gets rid of waste by making “stool,” or poop. This happens when the food you eat travels from your stomach through your intestines ( figure 1). You have two kinds of intestines, called small and large, which both do different things. By the time your food reaches the end of the large intestine, your body has taken out all the nutrients it can, and only waste is left. The waste is ready to leave the body. This happens through the very end of your intestines, called the rectum and, finally, the anus.",
