One set of aliens is vegetarian so they eat the equivalent of fruit, vegetables, nuts and grains; the others eat fruit and veg but lots of meat.<br /><br />Given that no one on Earth eats meat from animals in my novel (it's all vat grown) the term "meat-muncher" is a very strong swear word. I'm guessing that the f word will completely lose all force in the future so they need something stronger! fairyhedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141089706966852951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289273.post-57087955089857953302017-11-08T21:01:53.833+00:002017-11-08T21:01:53.833+00:00Are you posting any of your text anywhere?

I definitely agree that many of the clothing requirements are sexist. I personally hate ties and have told my wife that I will haunt her if she buries me in one. That said, the requirement for shoes in a bar is a logical safety issue with the chances of stepping on broken glass. Hobbits with their hairy foot pad should be exempt.

I can't say I have any regrets.<br /><br />Sarah: I agree. It's just a bit hard when you're not able to make any contribution to the family finances! I feel a bit guilty wanting to spend so much on myself.
