I live in hardcore livestock country, so every open area is already swarming with cow shit. It's not like I'm doing very much damage because I'm just shitting in an ocean of shit.
As for the trash bag thing, as long as you use decent-quality trash bags and make sure to seal them tight, you shouldn't notice barely any smell, and certainly not any that will linger once the bag leaves your pack. I do keep my food in a different pocket for good measure, but considering I haven't once gotten sick while on the trail, I doubt it's really dangerous.
