Where does the rest of your food go after you eat/before you poop?

I was wondering what happens to the rest of your food that your body doesn't digest. For example, I ate a footlong subway sandwich the other day but only a little turd came out. Yesterday I ate 5 slices of pizza and again, a medium sized turd came out.

There's no way my turd was made up of that much food! I know the body consumes some of it but where does the rest of it go?

    It is reassuring to know that some people are actually interested in biology ... I think.

    Look up 'alimentary canal' in your science book, love. That will tell you all you need to know.
