I am not surprised in the least, considering the diet of most urban Thai's is pretty poor. White rice and as much animal protein as they can get down their neck and what vegetables they eat are usually boiled until there is no nutrition left.

A disaster diet

However, if we could reduce the number of strokes and heard diseases, these people would eventually die of something else. Birth has a 100% mortalilty rate!

Perhaps the good doctor could tell us what he would like people to die from.....

lack of breath is a major killer apparently

Not surprising really. I had a roam round the local temple party last night, and whilst sitting down for a drink did a bit of people watching. Lots and lots of fat people eating fatty, greasy food (not me included!!!)

Lots of huge kids with small mothers. Obviously too many suppertime 7/11 trips for coke and burgers.

Not pretty sights.

Everything cooked in high-cholesterol palm-oil.

No cholesterol in palm-oil, cholesterol is only found in animal products.

However, oil (read fat) in any form is disasterous to humans,

"As described in Chapter 8, the viscosity of blood is quickly increased by stress, and continuous stress will maintain the condition. Severely affecting blood viscosity too is a diet containing fat, cholesterol, refined carbohydrates, coffee, alcohol and excessive amounts of animal protein. Removal of these foods from the diet enables the blood to clear in several days, but because most people consume these foods constantly, their blood is always polluted and viscous."

boredom???

[astral]

Welcome to the "civilised" world.

Look at the fat "fast food" Thai kids as well.

More candidates for the future.

Westerners will be wondering why Thais "are so fat" in 20 years the same way Thais wonder about Westerners today.
