First theyre "living" but so are plants. TWe eat THEM! Bacteria are NOT "animals" by any sense of the word. and your body cant survive without bacteria!! We have 10 to 13 th power of human body cells ( 1 with 13 zeroes) and in a normal healthy body 10 to 14th power bacterial cells!!! We rely on bacteria for so many healthy functions that we cant possibly "sterilize" ourselves. They live within us and most need us as well for them to survive. How can we then consider ingesting more to replenish our supply ( and to aid those already inside) or to replace those we may have killed by poor nutrition or some natural antibiotic ( spices, herbs etc) wrong?? I chuckle when missing the basic science fosters false assumptions which then guides beliefs and behaviors that are well, silly at best and harmful at worst. In my world vegetarianism means avoiding organisms with FACES. Plants-ok, fungi-ok, algae-ok and bacteria ( which are far more primitive than algae) why not ok ?? be well Finette its silly to try to avoid eating bacteria. First theyre “living” but so are plants.

My belief system is. . . I'll have to get back to you on that. Hmmm, That would mean I’d have to redefine or come up wtih a core belief system. My belief system is. . .
