E. Coli reproduces so fast that a population can double in size in half an hour, and human feces is 50% bacteria by weight.

Not a bad thing?
Wait, do you have a source for the 50% number?
My bad -- looks like I misread the Google summary. A healthy turd is 75% water, and of what's left, around 25-50% is made up of microbes.
The second most significant ingredient after water is bacterial biomass — both alive and dead organisms; this makes up 25–54 percent of the dry weight of poop.
