As someone who has dabbled in many things, including crap, I happen to have a couple references on coprophagy, the second harvest, you eating your own crap (or someone elses, but that would just be gross).
D.H. Thomas (ed)
1985 The Archaeology of Hidden Cave, Nevada. American Musuem of Natural History
Anthropological Papers 61(1). American Museum of Natural History, New York.

Archaeological Survey Reports 70. (p.1-20)
The idea is you pick out seeds (either wet or dry the feces first and winnow it) from you feces and then consume them again. Mostly it is based on ethnographic stuff about some group down in Baja that PURPORTEDLY practiced this. Most people think this is a load of crap (hahahaha) as it is dangerous health wise (uhhh duh) and the amount of calories you would get probably isn't even worth the amount you would spend processing the stuff. But there you have it.
