Stool Chart Reads Like Breakfast Menu

This is a legitimate scale for stool quality
I take no issue with describing stool quality for medical purposes. I take no issue with graphic representation of those qualities. And, I take no issue with creating a scale for easier communication between doctors, nurses, and other health care providers.
I do, however, take issue with the fact that it reads like a breakfast menu…
