Organic food in Thailand

[h90]

Well the supermarkets have Organic vegetables. Some are royal projects and I tend to trust them.

there are Organic eggs in "The Mall" and "Villa Supermarket".

Meat, Chicken, Beef??? No.

there was an article of male kids getting tits if the eat more than 3!!!! times KFC per day from Salmonella-Statica which half metabolized get estrogen function (might be good for ladyboys?).

There were postings about chicken that died from sickness and were sold cheaply for crocodile farms, but in fact the cheapo street vendors bought them.

I don't see many chicken running around in Thailand.

I see very rarely but I saw them: natural free running pigs

I saw a lot cows, some goats a lot of buffalos (2 and 4 legs but I mean the 4 leg version)

Anyone knows a source of these Organic or Natural living animals to buy?

The Australian grass fed beef and lamb that are sold frozen at the various Tops, Rimpings, Big C are solid choice.

Expensive for everyday but once a week or so and great source of clean nutrients and valuable fats.

Can you trust them? I mean are they really free running grass feed beef? Or just Australian beef where the animals are chained into a small place?

it's a good question.

It takes like grass fed to me

I dug up this article on their claims and practices.

This all depends of you mean by "organic"

In Thailand any farm that does not use DDT is organic, even if it uses non organic even gmo seeds is considered "organic"

In Europe, the soil needs to be free of pesticides for 3 years and the seeds must be also organic to have the right to call it "organic"

I think I was told Royal Project is not organic per say, as per European Standards although it's still far much better than having all these veggies soaked in pesticides.

To add to the confusion,some thai people seem to make the difference between "Insee" (organic) and "organic" the English word used inThai
