Funny that in Spanish it’s called “flora intestinal”, not “fauna intestinal”. Always though that it’s a but of a misnomer.

Intestinal flora is a common phrase in English, too. Or “gut flora”. It’s one of those old 19th century scientific phrases which has stuck around.
Like this, err, gentleman (who apparently wants to drag us back to that past) we used to believe gut bacteria to be plant-based. Science caught up, but the term has had sticking power. It seems to be a favorite of marketers of probiotic supplements.
“Microbiota” or just the straightforward “gut bacteria” would be more accurate and modern.

Did he read/hear about gut flora somewhere, and get his eggs scrambled.

Well it’s only a theory has anyone actually met a germ?

Germs are just dirty microscopes. Have you ever seen one with the naked eye?

That’s interesting. I wonder where the sunlight gets in to my stomach for all those plants to photosynthesize.

That’s why your sick. You need to constantly be in the sun without sunscreen, look at RFK jr’s healthy glow as a good example of prime health.
If your not feeding your tummy plants with the sunlight it needs your not living healthy.

“You’re” means “you are”. “Your” means “belonging to you”.

That’s why you have to occasionally stick your arse in the air on a Sunday day. Don it near a school or local park. You’ll be fine, if anyone asks tell them JFK said to.
