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.
