TGM

Unfortunately the FDA here can only do so much but I'm wondering why they announced in the first place. the list of hazard chemicals could be ongoing but the fact remains the same that in todays world, we accept that our food gets dunked in all kinds of chemicals helping to preserve food. We know that all snack foods are either loaded with salt or sugar, which too much of any is bad enough to trigger an onset of any kind of diseases and illneses.

Here as well as in the USA or Europe you can get all kinds of pesticides to spray on your crop and well, if you overuse then itll contaminate of course. The reason a farmer would overuse is to make his ends meet as his sole intention would be to get the most yielding crop possible by ensuring that no bugs will attack and other sprays ie. hormones to boost growth and richness. I'm not sure if the growers and manufacturers are unaware, stupid, ignorant or plain greedy.

I saw an article a few months back mentioning something along the lines that the EU has currently 400 food-related chemicals approved and running...I can't cite the source but I'm sure you folks can google it up. Its not a crime to be handling these substances it's just hard for the general public know about the inside industry which is rather grim to be honest.

HA that is so funny...the term has been around since the 80s at least. My son is in highschool and he knows what or who we're talking about when we drop that word. NO shame in being a sexpat I suppose, as long as you know how to dress up decently in public, that's all I'm asking for!!

yeah..I dont get why some people must have been really offended, as if your THAIVISA account would name so much of your status or even your name for ***sake!!! Nobody here would even dare mentioning their twitter or facebook username in fear or exposed identity. Furthermore, I found the article quite amusing. Of course you see those people once in a while and there is no harm in it. It's disgusting at times, but I've seen worse in the States, Germany, France etc..

Generalization is a treacherous thing..
