Mind Control: Yer Gut and Yer Brain

It's Saturday morning and I am not hungover. It's a new thing for me.

I wanna eat healthier, too. But shit. Pizza is my weakness.

I was reading an article on CBC yesterday called "Your gut bacteria are actively involved in your emotions, how you think, and even behave". It was a piece of an interview from a radio program called Quirks and Quarks.

I've read other related articles before -- how your emotions are "modulated by the microbiome". It's some seriously cool shit.

I think a lot of the time we consider our bodies to be singular, autonomous, or directed by a control center somewhere in the reptile brain. It's neat to think that other living organisms, are involved in a kind of symbiosis, in order to not only protect us from other harmful bacteria, but also influence our actions, feelings, and how we interact with the world.

I'll link to the article below in case anyone is interested:
