                  I wonder what the microbiome of the person who drank this thought about the world?  Our mouth is the gateway to our internal microbial community.  What these billions of microbes know about the world--love, hate, order, chaos, greed, charity--comes through our mouth.  

                  What do you think the microbes learned about our world when this Nutritional Shake came to their community?
