I would be for no laws at all. But a compromise would be no advertising and no delivery service (or delivery in a way that only adults can take it, would be easy....for things like that the delivery guy must make a photo of the ID card).

Yes and? When I was young it was normal to send the 8 year old to buy the cigarettes and beer for the father. No one in the supermarket would have thought anything. And there were almost no problems with kids drinking or smoking. We can't outsource parenting to the government or the mailman. I guess your 9 year old daughter did not eat it, right? Because you are responsible person who is taking care of your kids. If some parents don't the kids can buy drugs on the street, hard alcohol etc...we can never make it 100% secure...not even in countries like Saudi Arabia it is 100%. We need to learn to live with a "dirty" world.

yes these iced coffee.....that is a kind of masterpiece of bad food.......high fructose syrup + fake condensed milk with palm oil.....they should get an award from the pharma industry....if you drink that daily you need really good genetics. Also good to get a fatty liver, no beer can do it that well

good choice and if you are concerned about the sugar there are also the healthy chemical versions ???? (/Sarcasm)

The amount of glucose you get with the milk is irrelevant, what is the lactose content of milk? 3-5 % or so. And half of it is glucose. Coke is like the double or triple. No one is drinking liters of milk on top of some sweet food. But people do it with coke. And with milk you get proteins (and good fats if not skimmed) with the coke you get nothing only chemicals. It is not milk that causes the diabetics. If people double the milk and leave out the coke we would be in much better shape. (That many milk products content a lot added sugar is a big problem).

I am a bit shocked reading that.....Thank you. Yes maybe I am too much in a bubble and see things too rosy.... I would never buy food at the local market (beside fruits/vegetables/eggs) but that is rather because I studied food technology...bad enough what happens in clean factories....I cook myself. I had some similar stories from hotel rooms and from some longer rental of bungalows. My wife in anger saying she won't rent out to Thai people anymore. And giving the Myanmar staff some huge tip for cleaning the toilet which she said was used as a trash bin...and that these people all looked very neat from the outside. I booked that as both single exceptional case(ses) and exaggerations. I re-evaluate my opinion now.

That is cheap...why pretending that Thailand want to resolve the crises in Myanmar? Why not being honest. Like we don't care the internal problems in Myanmar, as long as they can pay we are ready to do business and don't care anything else. That sound hard but nothing wrong with it.

There is a lot import/export on the borders that benefit both sides...and also small and medium companies.....Years ago I was in Ranong there was a stead stream of small business....even washing...dirty clothes shipped to Myanmar for cleaning and back. Spare parts to Myanmar, etc.

because he is the Thailands foreign minister not some NGO. Myanmar is a trading partner and that is important for the Thai people. The internals of Myanmar is not Thailands business.

never allow....if Pita would have played clean, no one could have blocked him. Every party tries to smear the other, that is normal. Would Prayuth have iTV shares MF would be the loudest complaining about it. No one cares what he swears.....he would swear everything and have it forgotten the next day like every politician in every country.

Isn't he a bit young for the beer?

yes....I only eat what I cook myself. While you can cook unhealthy, it is usually still better than the industry food. And you don't cook if you are not hungry, so the snaking between meals is gone.

It is good fat and good protein and for most humans (and animals, like our street dog) lactose is no problem.

how long is it in US presidential elections from election till getting into office? And still some claim that it was not right. In Germany they still struggle with the 2021 election, as they endorsed the results in Berlin even everything was wrong there and now they don't know what to do. But 60 days might be really too long. 30 days for 95% of all candidates and 40 days for the last 5% might be. In my opinion complains about vote buying: Investigations can be started before the elections and irregularities at polling stations. Thailand has so many buerocrates. Put 2 more observer and a camera at every station. When I was official at election the system was so safe that it was impossible to make mistakes or cheat...it is not that difficult to arrange elections that doesn't need long checks afterwards.

But why was that not a problem 20 years ago....or was it a problem than and I just didn't know it? yes had 2 in the office below 30 I guess more like 25....needed insulin, Type 2....but fat and eat junk all day. Changing their food didn't come into their mind. Another fat staff which is not working with us anymore, but still a friend...diabetics type 2. Not my business but I wonder why they don't do something?? No knowledge? Don't care? In that young age with type 2 there are many ways...some more moderate some more extreme but you can get rid of it or massive reduce the problem.

Covid: theoretical yes. But when they sit together and talk close to each other, they anyway either get it or don't get it, no matter the food. As mostly it comes from particle in the air.....And they talk while eating with not only microscopic particle flying thru the air. Here in the company staff was distancing themself from each other and wearing masks. At lunch, at the way too small table they sit together with shoulder contact, no mask talking, laughing etc.....than afterwards put on the mask again and distance. That makes like zero sense to me. But the Covid scare in the company ended long ago....they only wear the mask on the motorbike or when they clean something alone outside in the sun, but not in the closed aircon rooms when they are together (I am not exaggerating.....) I don't care....

While I do agree on the white rice it puzzles me why in the past they eat the same amount of white rice and it wasn't a problem. My theory is that the rice is less of a problem than sweet drinks from coke to iced coffee mixed with ice cream...But I am not sure if I am right on that. I disagree with the lean pork....we eat too less good fat and too much cheap carbs....eat the fat pork and cut the rice. Fat meat keeps you full. I hear my staff on the phone what food they should bring home....the fragments Mickey Mouse Pizza (whatever it is) chocolate....etc....The girls on diet, fill themself up with some pills, don't eat but drink three big iced coffee (tons of sugar and palm oil (that white milk substitute)). And everyone eat that industrial produced food instead of cooking themself.....We tried to convince staff that they cook for lunch in the company...we even paid the food. They didn't want to do it...Fried egg is already too much work

I have seen people on the market amazed that I could give something like 140 Baht after buying 2 beer for 70 Baht, before she put it into the calculator... Real simple things....not 17 beers at 63.3 Baht...just 2x70.

I don't see any health problem sharing sticky rice with their fingers...not a problem....not cleaning teeth is a problem....(which is strange because why would humans need it while no other animal needs it?? Maybe because we don't eat natural food??). not flow the bowl ????I guess I know why I train at home.....

Yes of course you are right it is a quantity issue. I would guess isolated Soy protein is no problem at all....I as child (I guess just before puberty??, but can't remember)I developed a bit of nipples. The doctor told to not freak out, most of the time it resolves itself....but keep looking at it.....Got complete away and I don't even have the man boobs the beer drinking farangs usually have. Different than testosterone you can eat estrogen...and it is now already discussed in USA if the estrogen mimicking substances MAY cause some mental issues....The chicken issue was in Thailand and it was young boys who developed breasts.....but yes huge amounts they spoke about >3 times per day KFC. I would guess in US there is a better food safety. As you write "besides the ones who are obese from a bad diet." You have fat obese kids and the soy thing on top of it. You are thinking of some healthy exercising man. I think of already bad eating lazy boys pre puperty...who have already several problems. Lactose in milk can be easily removed if that is a problem in Thailand. So I don't see any benefit from the Soy.

Yes I remember epic rants from my wife (Thai) when staff eat together put their spoon into the big bowl in the center instead of having a dedicated one and put it on their dish first.....She refuses to eat together with them...because of that.... You are right.....I wasn't really aware of it, as it is outside my bubble.....

yes you are right...it is only a care talker government that keeps the chair warm....

peace talks are so 1990.... these days "peace talks" is almost a dirty word..

I also love tall slim Thai women....I have no problem if a woman is taller than me....if it is not freakish tall

OK....yes I accept that argument, even I think exactly that is even worse in the west. But being a bit of a disgusting pig does not keep you small. You can pee on your fingers and than it a burger and it won't be a problem (I'll get slim watching it....(I am already feeling a bit sick having the picture in my head)) but it is no problem. the focus on the mobile phone instead of playing outside (lack of exercise, lack of Vitamin D from the sun) is far bigger problem.
