    Say what you like about Phillips avatar, but at least he bothered to get a decent microphone. The other two sound like they are talking through a blanket.

    The one-handed Mexican wave thing is super distracting. lol

    yeah i loved Phillips mic quality. I had quite hard time understanding the interviewer. But may its because english is my 2nd language 😄 The "blanket" part made me chuckle, thanks for the laughs😁

    Try the other stuff as well. Lentils, pumpkin seeds, figs, dried apricots, dates, beans. I'm ex-anaemic too, so you have my sympathy. 

    I'm not trying to convert anyone. I'm not vegan although I know I should be. Just trying to demonstrate that meat is really not the only decent source of iron. Although I do remember, when I first went veggie as a youngster, how often I was told that I'd soon be stunted, spindly, stupid and prematurely aged with permanent IBS. I've now been veggie for quite a long time and they haven't said "I told you so", so I'm assuming I haven't turned out quite as badly as they thought. Though they have to take my word on the IBS. I have no symptoms, honestly.

    I mean, it's quite possible to have a bad or healthy diet that is meaty, veggie or vegan. It's not really as simple as any one of them automatically being terrible. But I don't like to perpetuate the idea that there's stuff in meat that can't be found in plants because it simply isn't true, though it may take a bit more effort.

     

     

    i guess the key is to find what works the best for our bodies as each body is different.  Personally i try to stay away from things that make me super bloated and feeling not quite well.  Like some people are lactose intolerant ect. Despite that i stay away from fast food and super processed foods, prefer home cooked meals. And yes i do eat some veggies and fruits  but things like tomatos and paprika  i am allergic to. I used to be able to eat those  until i turned 25 i guess either my gut became more sensitive or they started to spray different chemicals on the fields. Anyway, Thanks for your suggestions and no offence taken :)

    I may be wrong, but I believe animals for kosher meat are not fed offal, or indeed other meat of any kind. Happy to be corrected.

    Eat your greens. And your lentils, chickpeas and beans. Every day. 

    Can't say the evidence of my eyes supports this, but animal rights activists do tend to use fewer cosmetics. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

    Sorry but greens make me bloated. And like i said its up to them how they want to live. I normally don't use cosmetics at all - like foundation, mascara ect. So it's not just animal rights activists who stay away from it.

    no thanks. i prefer meat and don't want to look like a granny  and have joint pain at 30 years due to lack of colagen in my body. Vegans do age quite fast. But it's up to them to live this lifestyle. Live and let live.  i have a history of anemia i simply can't function without meat. Iron supps make me nauseous beyond belief and they don't absorb as good as natural iron.

    MP fees raising to 10% per sale. Thoughts?

    I am glad that they think of the creators and only raised 5% more just and kept 10%. Please understand, that 30% is industry standards. They charging way way less. I don't understand why people even complaining. People are using a service. If one not happy on 10% then unlist MP store and be happy with in-world store then. Imagine how Amazon, Google, Apple charge... way way more.

    As a buyer, I personally feel its way way easier to buy stuff in Marketplace. Ex, you want to buy a dress, you can see multiple products together in marketplace.. you dont have to hop around multiple sims, no lag at all, no mesh heavy sims... and you can relax at one place and buy the desired products from MP.

    As a creator, I feel 10% rise is nothing. Actually Linden did very good to create an online store like Marketplace. 100 times easier with direct deliveries from Inventory. No packing.. simply connect and sell. So why not pay for using the service. 10% is nothing at all. 

    Lol Apple and other companies have billions of customers worldwide while SL only has 40k active users logged in at the moment on a good day. Last 5% was announced just in May this year so its been raised 2 times within the same year. WTG
