A Lovely 10C Site!

@pritcharddesign I don’t think there is yet a clear idea of what a whole and normal gut population looks like. We don’t know which species’ absence is problematic, and we don’t know if there are lots of different healthy permutations.

If you actually want to know what yours looks like, and how it compares to a range of others, you could always sign up for The American Gut Project: http://humanfoodproject.com/americangut/

In exchange for $99 and the right to use your data in their research, they’ll do an analysis for you.

I haven’t done it, but Michael Pollan did: http://michaelpollan.com/articles-archive/some-of-my-best-friends-are-germs/

@pritcharddesign Sorry, I don’t know anything about stamps. Maybe @JeremyCherfas does?

@kdfrawg He is, but so are most dogs. :) Though I have seen the odd one that just couldn’t be bothered to sniff, even for cheese! Spaniels always seem to be well represented at scent work classes. Last time B was the only dog that wasn’t entirely spaniel. Today there was a cocker and a springer, a cocker x poodle (Bembo), a springer x poodle, and 2 not-spaniel-at-all dogs.

@matigo We can’t afford it either.

@matigo We generally try to make the same mistakes as America, just a few years later.

@matigo Shows what you can do if you’re prepared to throw enough money around.

@kdfrawg Yes. We’ve resigned from the obstacle course class. He loves sniffing.

@matigo Looked at on a global scale, it seems implausible that a sizeable chunk of the world’s population has become greedier and lazier than ever before in the last 20 or 30 years. Starting as babies.

@matigo Not to mention, being overweight isn’t a sin, and isn’t caused by being weak-willed and lazy.
