I think taste is what drives us to do/obtain what is healthy to eat and/or partake in, with these tastes being shaped by natural selection to actually drive us towards healthy, survival benefiting behaviors. We need to poop, so I don't think it would be likely to develop taste buds that would cause us to actively avoid a necessary function

If we could, I’m sure it’d ass-taste fine.
Oooph. The Nora virus would hit different though I bet.

But if it tasted fine, our poop would probably taste fine, and then we might be more inclined to eat it which would be unhealthy. I think that's why poop usually smells bad, so that we don't eat it and get sick or waste energy digesting non nutritious substances
