Loaf-eating in Germany--what's up with that?

This is a question that has been on my mind for a long time. And it's a subject that made me choose French over German for language studies. Why does loaf-eating seem so prevalent among Germans, and how prevalent is it really among Germans? Is it also prevalent in other parts of Europe as well?

I'm fluent in German and I have no idea what that term means. Can you clarify?

I believe he is referring to Coprophagia...aka the consumption of feces

Wow...that's really disturbing. Can't say I've ever heard of Germans doing that, and I lived for years in Germany. The French do eat some weird stuff (look up pieds paquets, escargots, frog legs, horsemeat, etc.), but I think they're beyond poop snacking.

For the record I never met a French woman who stinks, so put aside that old American BS belief. It's just AW jealousy IMHO, because I never met a French girl who didn't take really good care of herself, and they always wore perfume and dressed feminine. Can't say the same for many German women: underarm hair, hairy legs (in panty hose), no deodorant, etc., although to be fair that was mainly the middle aged and older generation who were like that. Dated both younger German and French girls and never had a problem with their hygiene at all.

Never even heard of loaf eating before, much less have it associated with Germans. Only exposure to feces eating i've seen is some nasty Japanese porn manga. And i'd rather not be exposed to that kind of shit again tyvm

I just asked because loaf-eating (shit-eating) videos seem to come from Germany, or Japan. I was even told that the porn section of German movie rental places have videos of people doing that prominently displayed.
