I would rather get rid of eating but keep defecation, though I don’t know that I could say why. The relief/satisfaction thing is certainly interesting.
I once had a conversation in this vein that went like this:
Him: In Heaven, pizza grows on trees.
Me: In heaven, people wouldn’t need to eat.
Him: Good point. But maybe eating as a form of pleasure?
Me: kinda flabberghasted
If nothing else, the parent got me to evaluate my preferences and realize that I was using them hypocritically in situations such as the above.
