How easy is it to make a "Super food" lunch in Thailand

Featured Replies

And how much money does it cost?

"One million baht"

Or probably less since I bought marked down lettuce @ Lotus (22b), marked down avocado @ Makkro for 6 for whatever (they're ripe and were PERFECT), Elephant garlic--I put 5 raw garlic cloves in my CREAMY GREEN GODDESS (AVOCADO) DRESSING, yikes what a kick. Oh, the picture perfect cherry tomatoes were 6/55b a little expensive but acceptable.

One small chicken breast half was 23b.

Oh, and one sliced up Kiwi...

And a side of kimchi (maybe 35b) for the probiotics.

Superfood lunch!

Was going to add chickpeas, but too over the top. Stop. 😄

How much pesticides and antibiotics in that healthy salad?

Antibiotics in the chicken feed? Any proof chicken farmers in Thailand do that? And even if they did there's no proof that harms you, per serving below subclinical dosage levels.

Pesticides on lettuce? Any proof that the salad sold at Lotus has that?

Speculation, not based on evidence only fear.

Tell us what you ate for lunch that was guaranteed to be "pure" in Thailand.

Go ahead. And post a picture. Let's see proof of the supply chain testing. 😅

@Travel Dude ain't got no proof his supply chain isn't contaminated.

Thailand is actually a high user of pesticides. heard this years ago and seems to be increasing..........A few years back

Key Facts on Pesticide Use

  • High Contamination Levels: Market tests by the Thailand Pesticide Alert Network (Thai-PAN) show that a large percentage of local produce contains chemical residues exceeding government safety limits.

  • Common Chemicals: Fungicides like carbendazim, along with various insecticides and herbicides, are routinely found on common produce like Chinese kale, morning glory, and cabbage.

  • Hydroponic Risks: Even vegetables grown in water-based systems (hydroponic farms) can test positive for chemical treatments and fertilizers.

  • Certified Alternatives: Produce certified as organic or meeting strict Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards shows significantly lower contamination rates.

  • This is recent................Current Pesticide Use and Findings...............https://hardstories.org/stories/natural-resources/heavily-reliant-on-pesticides-thai-agriculture-is-trapped-in-a-vicious-cycle

    • High Contamination Rates: Tests by food safety groups like the Thai Pesticide Alert Network (Thai-PAN) show that roughly 68% of market fruit and vegetable samples contain pesticide residues above government maximum limits.

    • Restricted Chemicals Found: Commonly detected chemicals include restricted category 3 substances like chlorfenapyr, fipronil, and the fungicide carbendazim.

    • Bans and Regulations: While toxic chemicals like paraquat and chlorpyrifos are officially banned or restricted, hundreds of other agrochemical formulations remain in active use due to commercial farming reliance.

    • Export vs. Domestic: Produce grown for international export undergoes strict monitoring and testing to meet overseas standards (such as EU requirements), whereas domestic market produce faces weaker enforcement.
