Japanese Guts Are Made For Sushi

cremeglace writes "Americans don't have the guts for sushi. At least that's the implication of a new study, which finds that Japanese people harbor enzymes in their intestinal bacteria that help them digest seaweed, enzymes that North Americans lack. What's more, Japanese may have first acquired these enzymes by eating bacteria that thrive on seaweed in the open ocean."

the mother shits and pisses all over the child as she births it (you try squeezing out something the size of a basketball without losing your bowel control)

soon after the baby is screaming, mouth agape, inhaling and swallowing its mom's shit and piss

seems to me to be the most likely scenario for gut flora transfer
