Except in the book the suit had a hood and face cover to protect against the never ending sun and to catch any moisture that had evaporated through the skin of that exposed area. But I suppose some liberties had to be taken to keep showing the actor's faces.
It's not that you get anything nutritious to eat from the shit - you just regain any water lost in it, most liquid is absorbed in the colon which directly precedes the rectum which is where all the solid waste and unabsorbed liquid passes to. The entire point of the still suit is to maintain minimal water loss in the desert - starvation takes a hell of a lot longer than dehydration, especially in the desert, so preserving your water volume is essential to staying alive if you find yourself stranded.
@@watchingfrom92 Indeed - the book goes to every length to highlight just how much of a duality exists between water and spice and how essential they both are on Arrakis.

Not great for high paid actors known for their faces.
Be cool, Gurney! Remember to breathe in through your mouth and out through this: your nose.
"urine and feces is processed in the thighs" will never not make me laugh honestly
Really makes you want to drink the water, doesn't it? "Your shit and piss is in there somewhere; have fun with that."
So let me get this straight... their supposed to sht themselves while wearing those suits??
Why even include this detail in the script.. 🤣
Because it's a canon part of the book and it is quite an important detail

Could have left it out...
@@atomicdawg100 no leaving it out, Drinking recycled poop water is critical to the world building
