bbabythai Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I've noticed over several yrs many photos of my wifes friends on fbook all holding milky green tea drinks from Amazon cafe / starbucks. In fact there are many varieties of these cold drinks all loaded with sugar. And of course they are all getting so fat. I used to work at a thai govt uni and checked their photos as well. Same thing. All holding these drinks. My wife has to have one per day and her legs are getting chubby. Its not good for us lads. cheers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 So is it that you have a leg or bum fetish? I am not denying what you suggest as visual evidential fact or theoretical cause. But even at Govt. level the average consumption of cane sugar in Thailand is incredible without the added popularity of "healthy" tea drinks as a bonus has been recognized as a problem solvable by increased tax on such offerings! Incidental to your opinion is that I daily observe that the customers who purchase such beverages are approximately 50/50 by gender from a vendor who leases a site on my wife,s property. I admit that I do concentrate more on the physique of the two fit young female vendors than the customers in general but can not ignore some obese tendencies in comparison. It helps conistently fill my bored time each day????. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baansgr Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Now you know what Thai women have had to put up with ole whitey in his vest, beer belly and fat ankles through too much sugar abuse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Sugar even goes into a traditional dish such as pad thai goong. It's used to blunt the chilli. I ask the cooks to leave it out. I'd agree there does seem to be an increase in porkers over the last ten years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kwasaki Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 I think a lot of young girls are getting fat before having babies more so now than ones getting fat after having babies in the last ten years or more it seems to me from what I observe where I live. There are still some very slim pretty ones but not so many now. I don't think its down to Amazon cafe / Starbucks I think its down to 7-11, KFC, Pizza company and young people having money to spend. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youlike Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 My wife has a small zojirushi thermocan, we make real coffee in the percolator, it goes into our thermocans and that's we drink...just coffee, milk and sugar. That icecoffee from Amazon is very fat, they use sweet condensed milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 In all seriousness I do believe that it is the expansion and proliferation of the franchised operations listed above that has a had a dramatic effect. My wife was quick to comment on the incremental obvious "size "of people initially in Bangkok but which as spread even to the northern districts as has the proliferation of the 7/11's, Macs, KFc, Pizza this and thats, etc. More than just increased disposable income for "street food" which is an historical Asian feature I am convinced there is something insidious in the content of the modern convenience foodstuffs from these franchised outlets that have achieved a proliferate profile that approaches an almost obscene presence in numbers that has stretched out into even relatively small rural towns.

Avoid one or the other avoids excess weight gain. Fats and oils are the same in end effect anyway . So oily or fatty in Thailand must also be extra sweet !

impulse Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Eventually, a whistleblower from the food industry is going to go public with the results of a myriad of industry studies that prove some of the minor additives are designed specifically to addict people to the product, and jigger with their metabolisms so they need to eat/drink more to get the feeling of fullness. I think it's the sugar that makes 'em gain weight. But it's going to be something from the likes of Bayer/Monsanto with a name like potassium polyunsorbate that makes them consume so much more of it. It's not as if excess sugar has ever been lacking in Thai food, since long before Big Ag got involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course a combination is even worse.Most of the food stuff at 7/11 has added sugar in some for added. I still believe sugar is more dangerous,there is a sugar tax. Corn syrup is a real hidden danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real fat chicks are on the local market where somchai has a huge pan of hot oil and deepfries local donuts, bread, chicken..they deep fry everything and there's always a long queue of fat chicks waiting.

Popular Post kingofthemountain Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 You guys forget one important point it's not only what they drink or they eat it's the lifestyle. I mean most of them are lazy and seat on their fat a55 most of the time. 30 years ago they were working in the ricefields or in the factories walking on feet kilometers or on a bike for the most fortunates now everyone take the scooter or the car even to do 50 meters all the ''physicals'' works are done by cambodgians or birmans none of them are fat, they are too poor and they work too hard for that like the Thais 20 or 30 years ago 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat is a type of crazy Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Many thai young ladies have jobs that involve waiting around for customers so they just sit there playing on the phone. And all those sweet drinks and western fast food still has some allure as something special and some thing there parents and grand parents never had. It's a concern as their DNA might find it hard to cope with such a big change to diet towards dairy sugar and fried meats - just see the ballooning rate of diabetes in India. Vanity and youthful vigour may win the day though - they need to look good for their tiktok videos and facebook posts so many will probably limit the fat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the village I never see them make any effort at anything resembling exercise.

This slimness 30 yrs ago probably had more to do with being malnourished than anything else. Yes, Thai and Asian females have gain a bit of weight. But they still have a LONG way to go before they catch up to their western sisters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
