Actually, bacteria only "make up most of our bodies" if you look at the raw cell-count.
Most bacteria cells are smaller than most human cells, so actually bacteria only make up about 1-3% of us by weight (a few pounds).
...But the "bacteria cells outnumber human cells" is a more provocative statement - so that's the one that gets spread around.
