Yes, that's true. We have our bodies covered with a whole load of different bacteria types, and they rot any thing that "goes inside", and later, they get digested as well. Vegetarians often say it's not a healthy thing to eat meat and humans ought to eat only vegetables ( huh?! what? they think we are bloody cows??) but I also learnt in school that our guts were NOT made to eat "leaves". At least at present times... :-] The "stink" we get when we eat meat, eggs or any other type of "wealthy proteined food" is caused by the degradation of the proteins (by the bacteria) is only a measure of the level of protein you'll get from that food. It's well known that animal-originated food has lots more to give us them 'leaves'. That's why, we manals, stand at the top of the alimentary net, isn't it? So, pardon me vegetable-eaters, but that's bollocks. chiph -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Dreams are such stuff we are made on" ( Shakespeare, The Tempest) ICQ 4246788 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
