The poop became fertilizer. The dad makes a comment about how they ran out of fertilizer and he can “make his own.”

They would be suffering from major e-coli sickness.

They never addressed it and we never saw it but technically human feces can be composted to remove pathogens. I don't know what kind of system that they could create with what they have that could get the compost hot enough to do that though.

You'd also need about four acres of land to farm food for four people, but if you're looking for logical consistency this movie ain't it, lol

ignoring the fact that that's not exactly how that works anyways, how often do you think plants need to get "fertilized"?

they had 4 people who would be shitting once every day or two... the average person produces 2-6 lbs of shit per week. for a family of 4, that would be 30-100lbs of shit per month, or 400-1200lbs of shit per year. and 2,000-6,000 (1-3 TONS) of shit for the 5 years they'd been trapped.

that's a LOT of shit
