Popular Post webfact Posted July 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2019 'Add Carabao' joins fight against toxic pesticides Thailand’s top folk rock singer and composer Yuenyong Opakul, known as ‘Add Carabao’, has joined the chorus of protest by civic groups and organic farmers against the government’s refusal to ban the use of three toxic pesticides, namely paraquat, glyphosate and chlorpyrifos. ‘Add Carabao’ and his famous Carabao rock band on Monday released a music video, entitled “What would you do, Phi Too (Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s nickname)?” via Carabao’s YouTube channel. The song has already scored 580,000 hits. Directly addressed to the Prime Minister, whom ‘Add’ likened to his elder brother, the singer highlighted the government’s refusal to ban the three toxic chemicals and urged the Prime Minister to act to end the poisoning of the land in this country immediately.

The pockets of the those doctors who declared the toxic pesticides and herbicides as safe have had their "generous expenses" paid by the chemical companies. Likewise the junta military politicians who readily and greedily accepted those doctor's lies and confirmed the official legality of these poisons were surely similarly rewarded for their trouble. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing juries don't determine scientific facts. Also it seems the personality in the OP has no issues with all the toxic pesticides used in organic farming?

Lee65 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Not a solution but an interim approach: one might try activated charcoal tablets or capsules to help remove the pesticides and other toxins from one's body. They are available in most pharmacies and even 7-11s. As always, do your own research and don't do anything you do not adequately understand. (I wanted to post this in the original news story about the recent test results form Britain concerning high levels of pesticides in Thai fruit and vegetables but could not find where to post it. Feel free to copy and paste it if you know where.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Carabao is a yellow shirt, nationalist, ultra royalist, he voted junta in. They performed at bangkok shutdown. Calling an oppressor his brother speaks volume. Edited July 22, 2019 by londonthai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton Rd Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Pryuth like an elder brother, Carabao is 64 how old is the dear leader? You wont find him echoing the rap against dictatorship theme in any of his material. Some might call his sugary drinks not exactly good for the health either.
