Actually all facts. Besides the amount of garbage US people generate, which is true.

The US has many national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, non hunting areas and forest parks. What they, along with bordering Canada, do have is hunting, controlled, and more wildlife than most other countries besides South America, Australia, Indonesia and India. The US is in the top 10 in biodiversity of wildlife. The US is more highly populated than most other countries, third, and along with that of course comes waste, generated by things (money). The difference being, they don't burn waste like here, burying it so it doesn't cause spread of disease and pollution. If you put a million deer in Thailand, in one week there would be none. Animals here are only protected in those provincial parks, although poaching does happen. You do not see rabbits, squirrels, and other animals roaming around like they are in the west because they are eaten. If monkeys tasted good they would be extinct besides in again, those provincial parks. Elephants here are treated very cruelly in many places. Thailand has around 200 Tigers, the US has approximately 25,000 Mountain Lions, and they're hunted. Americans understand conservation, Thailand is in some places good with it, but generally, if you take in the whole country, very bad. Fishing in America is great in all 50 states and Canada, with many species in plentiful supply, and there is considerably more fishing done in the US than here, and the only places here that have a lot of fish are private lakes, pay to fish, and some of the huge reservoirs. The reason for this is wanton netting, with no limits or conservation done. Al fish are eaten, period. The US states have limits on what and how any fish you can keep daily, and fines if you go over the limits. As far as fat, Thailand is slowly catching up. As far as trees, they are cut down wantonly here for no reason at all. Unlike the Amazon, which is being destroyed daily for greed, trees here are cut down all the time, just because they are there. Instead of loving them for the shade they provide, few are left besides rubber trees and some along watercourses and edges of rice fields, but I have seen many cut down there for no reason at all, and asked them why. They couldn't explain it. When they trim, they butcher. Not cutting the lower hanging branches which only go lower, they cut the tops and they look terrible. If it isn't food, cut it down,and if it is, butcher it for soup.

The chain restaurants, Burger King, McDonalds, Wendys, etc are no comparison to the indie restaurants anywhere. The ones here that people say are good, and that I've tried, are from other countries, mainly the US.

Humans have eaten foods that were already here, as farming is a human thing while everything that's farmed today already was here in the wild. Keto-ish isn't bad, as you're still getting vitamins and other nutrients that meat alone doesn't have. I've been eating the same all my life, a variety of foods, little junk food, no fried anymore, vegetables, grains, fruits a, fish, meat, yogurt, nuts and seeds daily, going more and more towards the Mediterranean or blue zone diets.

Along with grains, vegetables , Fruits and legumes. Can get by temporarily on those you listed, but unhealthy in the long run, besides all the false opinions you might have heard over the years.Again, looking at proof positive, those living in the blue zones, who live the longest in the best health.

That McDonalds is popular is a given. That they have good burgers is false. None of those listed are good burger joints. The only chains that serve decent burgers are Red Robins, Smashburger, Fatburger, Fuddruckers, In and Out and Five Guys. There are countless others that aren't part of a chain that have the best.

Most of the better pizzas I've had in the NYC metro area had chefs that either came from Italy or had relatives that did.

Leos in Sisaket has good burgers. I see there's quite a few here that have a good reputation, and I'm guessing they're from the US and brought their skills from there, just like a few pizza joints. Haven't yet been to Chiang Mai but it's on the bucket list before I move back home.

What restaurant, as chains aren't the best as far as burgers go. Everywhere you go you see obese people, so that's not worth mentioning. Hopefully you're not talking about McDonalds.

I drink it because it's here, but it pales.

When you can make a pizza with just basic ingredients and one topping and have it be excellent, that's a good pizza. 10 toppings disguises the pizza with too many flavors.

If you're going to pick beer, at least choose Guinness Stout, Sapporo, Heineken, Samuel Adams or a number of others. Leo and Chang are on par with Budweiser or Miller.

I used to live in New Jersey and worked in NYC. There are so many excellent pizza restaurants there it's hard to choose a best. When I visited there years back, while I was living in Texas, I went to a different restaurant every day for just a slice. All were top notch, some a tad better than others. The Pizza Company here doesn't compare. You need real Mozzarella cheese. And thin Italian sausage makes a great pie, along with fresh mushrooms and anchovies.

Going to an American restaurant once hardly qualifies you to pass judgement. The US has thousands of restaurants with some of the best food available, as their chefs are from old school thinking from all countries. The difference between a good hamburger and an excellent one is who's preparing it, and the meat used, just as the difference between NYC/New Jersey/Italy pizza and The Pizza Company is night and day.

Sweet potatoes, beans, lentils, chickpeas, eggs, yogurt, nuts, seeds, wine, coffee, fish, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, the healthiest diet anyone can follow.

Looking at the stats nothing much has changed.

The parents are, along with police who let underage drivers, without helmets, drive. Those above the police who don't have the police enforcing the rules. And this will continue for decades until those are fixed.,............I posted without looking at other posters replies, which mimic mine as we know what it takes to have safety for our children.

Which isn't a bad idea as it teaches responsibility.

That's not a contradiction. Your help voting him in because the other side was weak has nothing to do with hero worship, but believing his every word does. I didn't trust either side, and my vote wouldn't have made a difference because I saw what was coming.

Disinfectants are not a treatment for Covid, but a preventive for surfaces. Not quite the same thing.

I said the owner is partly at fault for leaving the keys in the ignition, creating temptation or an opportunity that wouldn't have been there otherwise. It's like flashing cash in a bar or leaving your car running when you go into a store. Partly the owner's fault.

No, again, I'm not political, and see things how they are. I don't take sides, as both sides have problems. Anyone can see what's going on in the world around us, especially if you get more than Thai local news daily.

Politicians cannot be trusted? Even though they voted him in, many don't really trust him. He was the better of two evils and the other side was too weak.

Who's delusional? I see things how they are, and even though I don't like him and see exactly what kind of person he is, he's still in power, and there are people behind him where many of his ideas originate, and they are part of the decisions made. Yes, he's out there, but what can we do besides wait to see if he fails or succeeds?

I'd like to see proof where the vaccine has killed anyone, definite proof, without them having morbidities that could have been the reason. If I see it, I'll believe it, but that still doesn't deny that millions have possibly been saved by having a vaccine. No one can really tell if they actually needed it or not, as Covid doesn't hurt the majority who are exposed to it anyway.
