JP, I am struggling to imagine how they eat. Is chewing an option at all?

JP, do both the men and women wear the plate or is it just the women? And is hers larger than most?

Jill, Krys and Paccis: I wrote some explanations on Adam's guestbook to reply his question; only women are wearing this labial plate; this is the most valuable thing they have. They wear the plate for special occasion, not all the time; without the plate, the lower lip is swaying under the jaw.. they can eat, but as they do not have their lower incisor teeths, they can only eat porridge like meal; no meat possible. They also drink milk as protein. 12cm diameter plates ( CD size) are common.
