Title: There must be an easier way to get iron into your diet
Post by: Grumpmeister on October 19, 2015, 06:56:20 AM

These pictures are from the Phuket vegetarian festival, which is spread over ten days in the ninth Chinese Lunar month falling either in the months of September or October. it is known locally as 'Teskan Gin Jay', or vegan festival, it began over 150 years ago on the island of Phuket and attracts thousands of Taoist devotees who engage in extreme acts of self-mutilation as a way to purify their souls

Eating meat, drinking alcohol and having sex are thought to be vices and pollutants of the body and mind to be cut out entirely by the truly devoted.

Still  "and having sex are thought to be vices and pollutants of the body and mind to be cut out entirely by the truly devoted" suggests they are Self Darwinian which has to be good.
