If solids plug the toilet, put plenty of dish soap in the toilet, let stand a while, and then plunge. Works every time.

IF you need to keep your drains clear-—
Look into BIO-Clean.
google it. Available at Amazon.
Have used it for years on septic tanks. NO problems
NOT THE BONES
YOU ARE 100% CORRECT
