    What possible reason could one have for travelling to Amsterdam before travelling to Thailand, other than to imbibe the ancient herb?

     

    a good reason is that there are some direct flights from Amsterdam that are not available from some others smaller EU countries.

    Vinegar kills bacteria, but it does not get rid of any toxins already created by said bacteria, and it will not do anything to get rid of pesticide residue, beyond simple rinsing.

     

    Best to get organic, though I suspect a lot of what's labeled 'organic' isn't really organic at all.  Not in the US, and certainly not here in Thailand.

     

    A lot of people scoff at the notion of 'organic,' or identify it with partisan politics.  I haven't the time to worry about people who want to play games with their health, but I feel very badly for their children, or anyone under their care who isn't being given a choice.

     

    Aside from that, organic foods taste better than non organic foods.  America feeds it's people like animals on a factory farm, and it's killing them, and it doesn't even taste good. 

     

    And I got to tell you, though it's part of the organic/inorganic topic, but staying away from rice, especially in a place where rice is so ubiquitous is one of the best things you can do for your health.  You might as well be eating its weight in pure sugar, though it's better than Americans swilling corn syrup, which is a big part of Americans nearly all corn diet.  Ugh. 

     

     


    Not only rice. Eating any carbs is purely idiot.

     

    Carbs were made and used because people had not enough money to eat protein. Eating carbs in 2019 is just a stupid habit, being rice, pasta or bread or cereals !

    You surely MUST wash any veggies you buy in Thailand, including the so-called 'organic' ones.

     

    We grow most of our own veggies and they are 100% organic, but for the few purchased in supermarkets and local markets everything gets put in a big bowl of water and then ozonated thoroughly for at least 15 minutes. This not only clears 99.9% of pesticide residues, but also 'freshens' up the veggies so they taste better and last longer.

     

    You need to purchase an ozone generator specially for the purpose. This is not the same as an air purifier. If you value your health, it'll be the best value for money you ever spent.

     

     

     

     

    How can someone like you supposed to know what he is talking about, say something so ridiculous ?! you really think that your ozonbllsht will clean inside the vegetables ?! how ridiculous ?!

    I'd have to do more research bit I'd say washing or soaking does little to remove the pesticides absorbed into the internal tissues of the vegetables. Sure will remove some of the residue pesticides left on the surface but not the previous applications absorbed as the plant grew prior to picking. I'd be curious if anyone can find further info about this and post.

     

    This is the only truth and so funny that anybody not totally stupid could believe in anything else !

    i will never eat vegetables of meat,eggs, fruits from the market only organic, i know the price is higher in the villa market of gourmet but i also wash before with water from bottles with vinegar and baking soda.

     

    Sellers are lucky to have customers like you ❤️

     

    Dream, dream, dream...

     

     

  6. Funny that some people think that cleaning the vegetables skin will totally clear them from chemical, it's at the same time ridiculous and sad for your kids.

    The only correct way to clean vegs and fruits is soda water mixed with vinegar (and water of course), but still, only the skin will be cleared, so when possible it's even better to just throw it.

    I live within a few blocks of Foodmart but I avoid it like the plague. Their prices are high but that's not the problem. I'd rather save the trip down to Tesco. However, the help is VERY unfriendly. They nickel and dime you there every chance they get. I wanted to put up a small index sized ad to sell a set of golf clubs on their bulletin board and they tried to hit me for 200 baht to post it. Idiots!

     

    not so high anymore it seems ? and it's interesting for fresh food, sandwiches and bakery mostly.

    In Thailand you can post the absolute truth which is completely accurate and totally verifiable.

     

    If you cause the person or company you posted about a loss, then you have committed defamation. The loss could be a loss of face or a loss of business.

     

    Ultimately it would be up to a judge to determine whether a loss occured, and to award compensation and if appropriate a criminal penalty.

     

    Quite understandably, most people do not want to get to the stage of risking imprisonment so they are cautious about their comments. Even more so when the person you comment about is wealthy and can easily afford to take you all the way to the Supreme Court to get a final verdict.

     

    Even if you were to win you would end up paying substantial legal fees over the course of a decade until final judgement was received.

     

     

    with VPN and fake names you do exactly what you want !

    Use a fake name, post through a VPN to hide your IP address, and don't give an specifics that would link the review to you. Then give them both barrels. But seriously, in Thailand even if what you say is 100% true it can still be defamation, especially when a farang is saying it. But if they can't trace you I'm not sure what can happen to you, almost certainly nothing.

     

    and do not post a review the same day or next day when $hit happened !
