You win Jeff

I went down to Florida, had a recount, and this

is my concession speech. (now I no how Gore felt)

I've been away from my computer for a couple of days,

and had a chance to think, (somthing I try to avoid)

and its the DIRT, that got me. I new that the

organizims in dirt created a culture in our intestins which

make B12. I thought that this would be a one time

inoculation, that would last until somthing happened, that

would kill of the culture, but, in animals, this

culture may be in a constant state of being killed off

and being replaced. When I think about how much dirt

animals must eat, (my dogs eat half the yard just playing

with a ball), and I would think, all animals would

eventually eat from the ground. I think I would

rather eat B12 tablets, than dirt. didn't Pink Floyd

say; " You can't have any pudding until you eat your

dirt! " So; if we are B12 deficient because we are not eating

dirt, then, your testing could have merit. At least I

believe there is enough doubt to show that we should take

B12 to be safe. I think the part about the

wheaties was pretty funny though. Doug

Maybe humans originally did eat more dirt just by

not washing their food. I mean, most people tend to

clean food till any sign of dirt is gone, but in the

wild that would probably be much more difficult.

Things like carrots would probably never get a lot of

the dirt off, and things like berries would have had

dust on them but probably not enough to cause a trip

miles to go wash them so would be eaten dirt and all.
