Everyone does it, but not everyone talks about it — farting is actually a completely normal part of being human! When you eat food, your DIGESTIVE system gets to work breaking it all down. Bacteria living in your GUT produce gases as a byproduct of digesting your food. These gases build up and eventually need somewhere to go, so out they come as a FART. Scientists use the word FLATULENCE when they want to sound official about it. Understanding farts helps us learn a lot about how our bodies stay HEALTHY.
