How to Get Plenty of Iron As a VeganCOMMENT
"As far as it goes, this is all OK, but it is basically deceptive in that it implies that vegans have a tendency to be more iron deficient than the average population. This is absolutely not the case. Vegans have no higher rates for iron deficiency than the average population. As the author states, there's plenty of iron in greens, grains, and vegetables. People who are vegetarian, on the other hand, have higher rates of iron deficiency because there is absolutely no iron in milk, cheese, and other dairy products, and so vegetarians who eat lots of dairy products (not a good idea!) have higher rates of iron deficiency. This is all well-known. Anyone can do a little research on the web to discover this. Go to Dr. McDougall for more excellent information on iron and anything about health for vegans, who, by the way, are typically much healthier and longer-lived than the average population. The author points out that if we don't bleed, we never lose iron. This can actually be a huge problem for meat-eaters, because the body cannot dispose of heme iron, the kind in meat. So many meat eaters may have too much iron, which is toxic and damaging to the body. Plant-based sources of iron (non-heme) are easily disposed of by the body through feces and urine, so vegans never get too much iron the way meat-eaters do.
One final note, since the myth that vegans may be deficient in vitamins and minerals persists through these kind of articles, this is information from an excellent book, The World Peace Diet - whereas vegans have been shown to be at risk for deficiencies in three nutrients (calcium, iodine, and B-12), people eating the standard American diet are at risk for deficiencies in seven nutrients (calcium, iodine, vitamin C, vitamin E, fiber, folate, and magnesium). Vegans typically eat more fruits and veggies than the general population and in recent studies have been shown to have higher intakes of 16 out of 19 nutrients, including 3 times more vitamin C, vitaminE, and fiber, twice the folate, magnesium, copper, and manganese, and more calcium and plenty of protein."

Processed People: documentaryThe statistics are terrifying.
Two hundred million Americans are overweight and 100 million are obese. More than 75 million Americans have high blood pressure. 24 million people are diabetic. Heart disease remains the No. 1 cause of death for men and women, followed by stroke and obesity-related cancers. Obesity is about to overtake tobacco as the No. 1 cause of preventable deaths in the United States.
60% of bankruptcies are caused by what has become known as “medical debt.”
Fast food, fast medicine, fast news and fast lives have turned many Americans into a sick, uninformed, indebted, “processed” people.

SAVAGE LOVE
I'm a 24-year-old straight female in a relationship. The sex is great, except for one thing: My boyfriend is so fucking quiet while we are having sex. No words, no moans, a stone-cold facial expression. I know he is enjoying himself because he always comes and he initiates sex as often as I do. However, his stoic demeanor makes it hard for me to really get into stuff that isn't directly pleasurable for me. It's hard to be motivated to choke on someone's cock when they look and act like they can't even feel anything.
I've mentioned this to him several times after sex, and he just laughs it off and then says something like "Do you expect me to scream like a girl?" I've told him that that's not at all what I expect. I just want some sign of life! One time, I purposely remained completely silent during an orgasm, like he does, and he became very self-conscious. He didn't believe me when I told him I came, and I asked him how he likes it when I'm quiet. He thought this was funny, and then things went back to normal.
Why is he so quiet? What can I do?

Stop treating this like it's a problem, WNITL, even if you experience it that way, and start treating it like a challenge and a game.
Give him a blowjob, choke on that cock, bring him right to the edge, then pull his cock out of your mouth and say, "Do you like that? Are you close? You want me to keep going?" Then look up at him and slowly stroke his cock—not fast enough to get him off, but not so slowly that you'll have to start that blowjob all over again—and wait for his response. When he says something, his dick goes back in your mouth. When he stops talking, his dick comes back out. Or if he's fucking you and he's getting close, wrap your legs around his ass and pull him in and hold him there so he can't thrust. Then say, "Feel good? Getting close? Wanna finish?" Don't let him budge until he talks; don't let him continue if he stops talking.
Be playfully, sexily confrontational, WNITL, and you'll be able to extract the feedback you want during sex while helping him get over his insecurities about how men are supposed to act during sex.

Dental Implants Could Be Grown Inside Patients' Mouth Israel Attacks Aid Ship, Kills At Least Ten Civilains"It hardly seemed possible for Israel -- after its brutal devastation of Gaza and its ongoing blockade -- to engage in more heinous and repugnant crimes. But by attacking a flotilla in international waters carrying humanitarian aid, and slaughtering at least 10 people, Israel has managed to do exactly that. If Israel's goal were to provoke as much disgust and contempt for it as possible, it's hard to imagine how it could be doing a better job."
Israeli Commandos Kill 10 During Raid on Aid Float"I think they were trying to defend themselves with whatever they could grab. "Armed" is the wrong word to use for someone with a chair in their hands. "Arms" are items designed specifically for battle (unless you're talking about a human appendage). Any other use of the word is propaganda.
If the Israeli government was trying to avoid violence then why didn't they first send unarmed negotiators to inspect the contents of the ship before sending in heavily armed commandos? It doesn't add up. This seems more they were putting the world on notice. No aid ships to Gaza or we will kill you."
