Right; perhaps I am being terribly unspecific. The definition of efficiency already includes the minimization of waste. So when I ask what improvement you would make, I'm asking how you would change our digestive system to achieve that. I have no particular stance on the matter. But saying that something isn't efficient doesn't mean much without showing how it can be improved.
*shrug* I’m neither a biologist nor a biological engineer, so I’m unable to provide you with specifics.
However, there doesn’t seem to be a bar to an omnipotent creator designing organisms able to make full use of the nutrients they ingest with no excretory process (there’s those pesky laws of thermodynamics, but remember - we’re talking about a Being able to whip up an entire universe any way it wants).
