Sorry but are you being sarcastic, it's sometimes difficult to tell on here?! No evidence of MSG having a negative effect on the body?! I guess that depends who you believe...



U.S. Government Food Safety Warning. The transport of MSG is controlled by the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. [PDF source] Because there is so much concern about MSG, the FDA commissioned a study be conducted by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB). The study resulted in a 350 page report completed on 31 July 1995 [this report mysteriously deleted from public archives]. The research determined that MSG consumption can result in the following side-effects:

• burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest
  
• numbness in the back of the neck, radiating to the arms and back
  
• tingling, warmth and weakness in the face, temples, upper back, neck and arms
  
• facial pressure or tightness
  
• chest pain
  
• headache
  
• nausea
  
• rapid heartbeat
  
• bronchospasm (difficulty breathing) in MSG-intolerant people with asthma
  
• drowsiness
  
• weakness

Lack of Government Regulation. Despite numerous findings by government agencies and health institutions, the FDA refuses to take any action that would prohibit the use of MSG. As with many uncontrolled substances, it all comes down to money. The sale of Monosodium Glutamate is big business. Despite the health hazards, annual worldwide demand is about 1.1 million tons. So, it’s unlikely that any government agency will limit the use of MSG. In such circumstances, it is up to consumers to become informed to protect themselves.
The article goes on to say:
Dr. Olney’s studies on various species of test animals disclosed that MSG, when fed in doses similar to those found in human diets, destroys hypothalamic neurons. This type of hypothalamic damage produces a particular syndrome in animals which caused them to be short in stature, obese, and to have reproductive problems. … Recognizing the immediate danger to the public, especially to the unborn child, Dr. Olney and others testified before Congress concerning these dangers. As a result of their vigilance, MSG was voluntarily removed from baby foods in 1969. But no one had warned pregnant women of the danger to their developing babies caused by the MSG found within their own food. This danger would exist if the glutamate from the mother’s blood entered the blood of their unborn baby. In 1974, Dr. Olney demonstrated that MSG, when fed to pregnant Rhesus monkeys, could cause brain damage to their offspring. Other researchers found similar results when pregnant rats were fed MSG.”

All I did was tell my wife that MSG makes people get a fat ass.  Dramatic reduction in consumption

Which is exactly the pattern as seen in other nations, when the minimum wage goes up lower skilled workers or those that would fall into trainee' positions of young workers are suffering due to exclusion from the job market.

3% inflation?     If that figure is per quarter, I'll believe it.  If that's the official inflation figure then the Thai government is taking a page from the US government's book of tricks:  excluding some of the necessities of life from the inflationary index in order to fool people into thinking that things aren't really as expensive as they really are.

"Available evidence suggests that the road split under intense heat. People should be aware of just how big the threat of global warming is," he said.


Seriously, don't you think it might have had something to do with shoddy workmanship, poor quality cement maybe.

This vacine is a scam and has serious side effects. Just Google it and don't trust anything written by the US Government or the drug companies. If given many children will be killed or maimed.

Are you bonkers?  A chinese merchant family that has built one of the largest conglomerates in the world is petitioning to get so called "foreign" dominance out of one of its markets.  I somehow don't think that "farangs" have a monopoly on making a buck selling stuff.  It is just this illusion that perpetuates that somehow having a so called "thai company" running a business is in some way more in the national interest than having a foreign company.

It is an illusion that they are doing this to protect Thailand from anything.  And it is a very cunning strategy to put it in terms as though a supposedly "Thai" company is working more in the interests of the Thai people than a foreign one, because no one is allowed to discuss the issue.  Until it is understood that the THAI PEOPLE/CONSUMERS are the national interest, this charade will continue.  All of these companies are in this market to make a buck, and to believe that in some way a Thai one represents the national interest more than another is a piffling nonsense.  What is important is that companies are prevented from enabling monopoly or oligopoly profit from the Thai consumer by hiding behind unnecessary government restriction.  

This goes for so many markets in the country where the unnecessary middle man makes the killing and the little guy gets screwed, which is of course in the national interest because the middle man is Thai(often of Chinese descent)? The system has made billions for people by proclaiming the farang the devil working against the national interest, whilst in most major Thai markets, a gilded few take the people to the cleaners.

This is about securing and strengthening True's market position, nothing more, nothing less, whilst delivering very very little to the THAI PEOPLE.

How about a crack down on stupid officials?!

This wins the most stupid headline of the week!

I stopped by Villa at the Avenue yesterday. Salsa was on the shelf and my wife is happy. Making huevos rancheros this morning
