Got the impression- and that's all it was, nothing else to go on- that they were being sold the "Herballife way" in conjunction with South Korean pentecostal Christianity with it's "prosperity doctrine". If people get sucked into these schemes in developed countries poor uneducated Cambodians must really be an easy mark.

Amway?

Anyone up for a tupperware party?

Buffalo definitely seems a bit leaner and hard, but the camel meat seems about the same as the beef I get, depending on the cut, but generally just pretty lean but no taste difference. Got something called 'beef shin' last night, though haven't eaten it.

Most are about $6 a kilo, and my fav is probably lamb. Fish is hit or miss, but my fav is salmon, which can be around $11 a kilo, if you buy the whole thing. Bought some 'black' looking tuna for about $2 a kilo, but I don't know if I'll eat it, as it looks pretty nasty. I bought one of those Foreman grills and the only cooking I do is throwing a bunch of meat/vegetables on it and calling it a day.

Fuck, I've derailed this thread that should be about the Cambodian HerbaLife stuff, my bad, Stiliko.

Indian buffalo and camel meat? Just check the local Tamami and its Tesco range, failing that Lulu is quality. Lamb is decent but it can be expensive.

Herbal Life is big in the Philippines.

There's a big MLM operation going on in a big new office block in the area I've lived in for a long time. I suddenly noticed all these glamorous women in the neighborhood a year or so back. They all wear high-heels and smart suits, nothing wrong with that. I thought it was an acting or modeling school for a while. Then I found out otherwise. I found out that their boss doesn't chip in for the lift fees so these women have to take the stairs seven floors to their office. They sell these ridiculously-overpriced health supplements that come in fancy boxes. I think it's blatant exploitation and I feel sorry for anyone who is sucked in by these companies with their insidious and deceitful scams. I see all these young people drawn in by this crap, brainwashed and then out trying to convince all their friends that this is the way. The worst thing about these schemes is that they exploit vulnerable people and encourage them to get their friends involved. Eventually they lose all their friends too.

They have lamb in the middle east?

Have you never heard of the ship loads of Australian sheep headed for the Middle East?
