50% of survey respondents think eating pad krapao can help protect against COVID-19

 

It's true! I've been gorging on Pad Krapao and no Covid. I have also started using powdered mummies to achieve immortality. I can't wait to live forever!!!

True.

Flushes all bad things straight out of your body.

I have powdered quite a few "mummies" in my own time. And look at me... healthy as a horse!

Yet another committee formed a working group under the auspicious leadership of Khun Somchai and hunted down diners and roamed the back alleys of the Kingdom to question 1'192 gourmet experts - quite a representative figure for a +/- 70 million people country. 

I would like to meet the 0.95% of the mentioned 70.94% of people and, likewise congratulations to the 0.81% of home cookers out of a total of 75.81%.

 

The published answers though might be all wrong: 

Pad Krapao (32.23%) - WRONG!

Tom Yum (24.91%) - WRONG!

Pad Pak (21.60%) - WRONG!

Nam Prik (17.60%) - WRONG!

SOMTAM (100.00%) - RIGHT

Honestly, what interest is served with such "surveys" and what interest is served in publishing them? On Thaivisa I understand, it has an entertaining value.

Excellent theory. But why bother with pad kraprao then? Just gargle with pla raa every morning. That will do the trick for sure.

Don't need to gargle. I just smear it in my beard and mustache. It lasts longer and I get to smell it all day long as well. 

Of course, the true gist of this article is that 14.57% of Thai people seem to be rational thinkers.

 

I suspect that this is the same 14.57% demographic who do not rub tree bark for the upcoming lottery numbers, don't worship disfigured newborn animals as something "holy", do not subscribe to the idea that wearing certain amulets makes you invincible, don't crouch under an elephant's belly if they want to conceive a child, don't see some bizarre ghosts lurking behind every banana tree, reject the notion that drinking 85% proof moonshine with pickled centipedes or cobras does anything to increase sexual libido, and are not entirely convinced that their nation is the center of the known universe and pinnacle of human civilization. 

 

In other words: there is still hope for this country.  

I find this survey priceless, yesterday my wife says, tonight i cook dinner darling !!!!!

First time in many weeks, guess what we had for dinner????

Yes your correct Pad Krapao.????????

We're doomed.

garlic has proven antibacterial affects

what I am sure of is that Durian kills all known viruses and bacteria.  It also temporarily kills love and sexual desire.

The only problem, Colin, is that from now on it's going to be pad kraprao EVERY DAY -- breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Haha, I suppose eating spicy food makes you less likely to rub your eyes and nose giving you a trivial degree of protection.

Says who?  You have a case study on that that has been peer reviewed.  You might as well just say that all fast food, or sugar filled foods, and those with certain spices do as you said.  Lets get real  here.  What makes people fat and impotent is called laziness and hormonal issues that can all be dealt with by taking care of oneself regardless of what one eats.

But durian if eaten before it becomes too pungent tastes sweet and is not mushy.  I just ate one sharing it with the GF, and the house does not stink like old smelly socks either.  Of course the trash went out right away.....lol

I had a friend who ate 2 big macs a day, fries, etc.  Skinny as heck.  Why?  He was in training for triathlons.  Burned so many calories it was hard for him to keep up.

Hooray, I am save ????

Yesterday evening had first dose of pad krapao.

Remainders for lunch now.

Tom yum gai for dinner.

 

Wearing only a mask when riding their motorbikes to now eating Pad kra Pao to protect from Corona. 

What's next?

It also ensure other people keep their distance...

 

I've increased my fresh oyster intake..  Best natural source of zinc there is... which helps the natural immune system.  Also Vitamin D.. from oily fish (sardines, mackerel, etc), and get out in the sun for an hour or so every day.

Biggest fear - The Ghosts that live in her woods

This has to be the biggest load of B@@@@@ks that I have heard spouted out of Thailand this Year so far.

What little credibility the " Suan Dusit Poll " ever had before has been well and truly stir fried with this Poll.

???? 

 

The headline doesn't really do the results justice. People cook more at home and they give more importance to fresh and healthy foods.

 

All that is, without a doubt, beneficial.

No, you have it backwards.

 

The western education has a lot to answer for with the hordes of college-educated folks who don't grasp that diet boosts the immune sytem and protects from illness.

 

Agree absolutely and Madam Moon and I are on the same page in that regard. Both of us agree that garlic, onions, ginger and similar veggies help to boost the immune system.

 

Garlic has been my 'reach for' protection on many occasions when illness has threated and there's lots of scientific evidence in support of that notion.

 

Thais, especially those in the rural areas, are still very much in tune the natural cures that surround them.
