Chicken sandwiches at Bangkok's Siam Square contaminated with antibiotics, but not over allowable standard


Recommended Posts

It was under the allowable standard. 13 and standard is 200. Way below.

They are allowed to give to the chickens to keep them healthy, before they process them.

No Story here.

Meat has a lot of essential vitamins. Lamb for Iron. Beat for Vit A very essential for your body and liver full of iron and vitamin A and B. Did you read a few days ago  the business man Thai now in a wheel chair and now has to go 3 times a week to have kidney dialysis because the hospital filled him with antibiotics. 

Dont take antibiotics with a name that has Amox in the name.

I see, so only the webmasters of this forum are allowed to name and shame....Well it's a Thailand based forum so that tells it all i guess.

 

I wished they checked all chicken restaurants in BKK, was in a new mall last week and noticed about 5 new chickenrestaurants (chains i guess) i had never heard of before. Eating chicken is in fashion lately, i wished somebody opened up a fishfillet restaurant, fish and chips with salad...

 

And you have not heard about health issues regarding farmed fish?

Be a farmer. Cultivate your own food.

I'd rather eat organic vegetables than eat sick animals that need antibiotics just to live a short time for slaughter 

Have to agree with you there....but where in Thailand can you get organic vegetables......are they labelled so?

To old all I want to cultivate now is friends. Will you be my friend??

 

Not too old. Employ farmhands to do the physical work, and install tanks, pumps and pipelines.

Sounds to complicated and rich for my beer budget. Being friends is easier and cheaper.

Since they stuff chicken with antibiotics before they get killed, antibiotics is bound to show up in food. 

 

That's the worry. The educated can avoid popping antibiotics when ill, but would be consuming them through meat.

I wasn't attacking him, simply was saying I'm happy to be vegetarian and wouldn't want to eat meat from a sick animal.

 

if I was attacking him then he was attacking me for eating vegetables with pesticides

I'll admit when I first went vegetarian or vegan, I did became one of those annoying vegans but now I'm laid back about it all, all my friends eat meat, its just the way it is in our society and life is too short to moan or complain about it all the time, I will eat with friends and they can if meat if they like, doesn't bother me.

 

 

I wasn't attacking you. I was simply pointing out that even so-called organically-grown vegetables in Thailand have been found to contain dangerous levels of pesticide so being a vegetarian is no guarantee you will not be subjected to unwanted chemicals in your daily meals. Also, your choice of wording, which you have repeated again, "eating meat from a sick animal" is misleading and deliberately inflammatory. You say that people eating meat doesn't bother you but it clearly does. Lastly, the minerals that you believe to be present in the vegetables you eat may not be present in the quantities you have been led to believe, due to over-farming. These minerals come from the soil in which vegetables are grown and have been depleted to a large extent due to intensive farming methods across the globe.

If they were, and i've never seen any, i'm sure the labels could be purchased somewhere. i guess it's safer to eat snickers bars.

I avoid food products of CP...especially processed food.

 

You CANNOT avoid it. It is everywhere and quite possibly the supplier in this case. It's a virtual monopoly.

Home raised chicken is not from CP. Thais called them 'Kai Baan'.

 Yes, I am the same, don't eat meat anymore!!

 If they repeated this exercise in the US and included checking for glyphosate, dicambia and antibiotics they would be forced to shut the entire restaurant industry in the US down!! You can't find decent uncontaminated food in America, it doesn't exist. You are absolutely right in what you say - 80% of AB use is on animals and is the reason why they are of little use now :smile:. I would use natural antibiotics found in food if I had an infection, thing is I don't and won't get one so there is no need!!

 I don't eat any CP produce as I don't eat processed food - haven't for 9 years now and they have been the healthiest days of my life.

CP is the major supplier for chicken and pork meat, which I don't think is processed food, so you sure eat CP product almost daily.

Subway is a foreign based chain of fastfood restaurants.

 

Will that do it for you?

 

 

 

Is Thailand run by the parent company ?

BKK has some restaurants with home-chickens. They are very very skinny, you almost only eat skin, and they are expensive as well like 200 for a grilled chicken or even 300.

 

So you have choice between a fat cp chicken or a skinny one which costs much more. There's nothing in between.
