  1. I read up on that subject a few years back and its the cans that most likely carry the disease. Bottles are better protected.
  2. Real men chug a lug straight from the bottle. The glass is for the babe sitting with the man.
  3. Latest admission of guilt in the nutrition sites state that thought to be mistaken. They have the healthy fat and medical sites say go for it. Google it.
  4. The only vegetables I buy out of Lotus, Rimping are onions and tomatoes due to their exposure to outside temps shortens their life. The onions in particular, decay from the in side first. You dont know that you've got until you cut them in half. Rimpings tomatoes are the best. Indeed, In US friends and family tell me food prices and I just shudder.
  5. I believe the bulk of Haas avocados sold in the grocery stores are imported from Australia. The local talads sell local grown and taste just great.
  6. Don't waste money buying avocados from Lotus, Tops, Big C, Makro, or Yok. They mark up the prices too high. Buy from the talads. There are multitude of varieties in almost all talads. Here are the best varieties I have found, sold in Chiang Mai talads, and some are better than Haas. Table 1. Fruit Characteristics of Some Avocado Cultivars in Thailand Buccaneer pear shaped Booth7 round Booth8 pear shape Russell #034 long oval Fuerta pear Haas oval Peterson round Ruehle pear shape. Personally my favorites are Buccanner and Russell034.

  8. I had a friend that was given hemp in a baggy. Upon telling me he had canabis, I asked to see it. I saw it, smelled it (smelled like hemp rope). I asked are you smokking this? Answer; yes. Does it get you high? Answer; yes (phsycological?) 2 Months later, he could barely talk for the lack of air behind his words. 8 months later, he passed out walking from kitchen to living room, hit his head on the floor and died. We found him 2 days later.
