WTF? Is this line from the bible saying we should eat sh*t? (I didn't realise that was a religious phrase)?

Not exactly, what Ezekiel is doing here is warning of the calamity that will happen if Israel continues to forsake it's covenant with God. It is not a command but a warning of what the future will hold if Israel does not repent and turn back to God. The specific punishment would be a siege and takeover of their country but that would entail people trying to eat whatever they could during the siege when the food ran out.
