  1. yes but small boys are very sensitive on estrogen levels.....it may even happen without having it in the food, but balance it out most of the cases. Even a small amount can be harmful there....And it is an unnecessary risk. Chicken by the way is the next risk, because of the Salmonella Statica medicine they often get, metabolics of it are function as estrogen....was a big topic years ago in Thailand when boys got breasts from too much KFC.....better leave it out when there are better options like milk, eggs (with quality control), etc
  2. They are talking about foreign investors.....not me talking about it. Lot of investments mean automatic rising salaries, better education, better standards in the long term....see China 20 years ago and now...even on pollution China is now cleaner than India. Cheap energy can be clean....nuclear power plants (Prayuth wanted to build but choose the most stupid place and caved in when there was critic-->weak leader) cutting the supid regulations on private solar panels would create lots of cheap energy. But also modern coal plants are now clean...(not advocating for them, but they are cheap and clean if someone bother to build them). Cheap labor at full employment will very fast lead to increased salaries....over many years China had seen +10% salaries every year. But that works only at labor shortages (not when you let in Myanmar and Cambodian worker.....like Prayuth did) more expensive labor than leads to the use of more efficient tools and better training. If there is good economic there will be stability as people are happy and busy. All socialist ideas lead to exactly the opposite. Minimum salaries actually keeps it all stagnant, but inflation high. With low salaries you also need to keep prices low, which means lowering taxes and keep bureaucracy---> Prayut did the opposite and Pita want to make the bad politics even worse. Cut spending and reduce taxes for the poor, better for everyone.
  3. yes lack of protein....you could also give a school beef steak every day, but milk might be easier. DNA I am not sure...in Europe we were all short a few hundred years ago and DNA didn't change in such short time. Nutrition did but they say it needs generations as the nutrition of the parents influence the DNA expression of the kids. If that is true or not....I really don't know. I only parrot what I read. Too little protein is also bad for brain so stuffing in more into kids...and less cheap carbohydrates (sugar and white rice) is surely a good thing. Two eggs with some dark bread (or if it is not accepted some rice) would be a better lunch than that sad sausage shown in the news...and still cheap
  4. Soy products are very bad for young boys...... But yes you could replace the milk with a boiled egg, but please not with some soy product
  5. Making sure it was drunk...is kind of forcing....I went to school in the 70s in Austria we had school milk and no monitoring....no one looked at us. But of course no one would have got the idea to play around with food in the 1970s
  6. No they are scared from the communist talks from Pita and what laws may result from it. Talks about tax increases and higher electric costs (CO2 and green things) scares away producer. and higher minimum labor costs No matter if these things are the right thing to do or not. Investors want cheap energy, cheap labor and no taxes and no regulations and stability. If it is democratic or a dictatorship is irrelevant...it must be cheap
  7. I was a baby that always wanted to eat, and got everything way before the recommended age...Got meat at very young and still didn't got very tall. Maybe without I would be real short?
  8. I think some milk for kids is good. But milk monitors that force the kids to drink it?? That is dystopian!
  9. Sugar is the biggest problem...but I don't see a problem with education on health and hygiene....Thais are pretty clean but being dirty would not make them get shorter and the basic healthy nutrition ideas...I think people know that coke and ice cream is not healthy. They just ignore it.
  10. people are not meant to wear clothes, live in houses, use wheels eat any vegetables or fruits (and getting vitamins) in Europe in winter. And definitely we are not meant to use smartphones or computer to post our ideas on forums.
  11. What is out of control? And why is control needed. There are no Cannabis dealer that force it down our throats. There are no Cannabis overdose deaths on the sidewalk. Who, like me, does not like Cannabis should simply not buy it, not use it. No law is needed to help me not buying it. And it is far less addictive than alcohol or cigarettes so no excuse for a law there. Yes...only tolerate it, ban advertising for it, ban public smoking of it, and of course ban driving car intoxicated with it. Everything else is not the countries business
  12. Are you sure? He is at 5 year but I see several with 5 years and also 8 years and 9 years.
  13. yes Thaksin bought the elections before easily and now Thanatorn bought it easily. BJ is not that rich but did well. The problem is that people take from all of them the money...but vote only for one...so one of the Oligarchs win.
  14. That the majority of people agrees does not justify shooting people on the street. Beside that many had nothing to do with narcotics and were just accidents, it complete destroys the system. The police can't just execute people, no judge needed.....
  15. Alone the public discussion the information and than the public referendum needs month....and for sure some people will want changes that need to be public discussed...than we are at years. Or do you mean the MFP just writes its own constitution without discussion and referendum? Yes that is what I worry about
  16. Lol...can we destroy that posting before my staff gets ideas? In the company we don't have that problem....recently we don't even had these surprise sickness that happens Monday morning...migraine or diarrhea. If someone is sick we don't really need a doctors certificate....but we are a very small company. Minor things I treat myself or wait it out. My wife had bungalows for tourists in the south and some middle age women to clean and similar things. Paid per day (so if not come not pay) they all very like once a week with something at the hospital. I don't know if they are really ALL in poor health or if they are hypochonder or if that is a kind of place they meet other people? Whatever it is, it is not possible to finance that.
  17. I doubt that.....in the past the people weren't fully informed...now it is more a propaganda war and everyone is in their bubble....It is not less ignorant, it is different ignorant. Best example is the Covid/Vaccine discussion...You have 2 groups which are both 120% sure to be in everything right and have their groups where everyone confirms the others bias. And they don't discuss much in real life anymore. That is not better, maybe even worse than the absent of information before.
  18. My guess is they'll write a MFP centric constitution....If they want to make it right it will be years with the public discussion and the referendum. But maybe I get a positive surprise.
  19. And it causes people who have only minor problems to go to the hospital. Overloading the system. Make it real costs cap at 5000 Baht and real poor people get it free. Don't know if it is only here in our office but if someone has a sore throat they run to the doctor (not hospital) and come with 5 different tablets.
  20. But will need a couple more years.....What ChatGPT and Bard tells on a bad day is not useable...it amputate your leg when you have a fungal nail infection....
  21. No...there should be an appointment process which is not from the government....maybe judges randomly selected? Who select the next EC? Say EF is in power and select the EC on the next election we have the same discussion claiming they are biased against the other parties. (The same as the Senators). Bad constitution....
  22. cases like that makes people vote the opposition.......
  23. That sounds dangerous. They may have translated the "The Funniest Joke in the World" to Thai...he speaks it without knowing the meaning of the words and kills Thailand (and part of Laos)
  24. Overregulation is here the bigger problem.......A Thai problem: a law for everything, but no one follows it, often no one even knows it.
