    I’m sure there is a good reason they should smell bad? Changing that might be definitely one of those things scientists could, but shouldn’t change.

      Probably just a result of fermentation. It hasn’t been selected against because it’s not a problem.

      I don’t see how genetically engineering humans for farts that smell like baking bread would be a problem for modern humans, do you?

        I could think of somethings but don’t want to. I am pretty sure nature wants us to associate that smell to bad for a reason.
