Don

Don is here for a visit as he travels around Thailand in the school holidays. He is very well and we are sharing our health issue ideas. Don had polio as a kid, and as a result, has to be very careful about his body. We have been juicing and eating lots of fruit and veg.

Of course, tied into this is the horror story of the corporations who promote processed foods and medicine and diminuish fresh food. Yes, it's all related, I'm afraid, with a population addicted to fast food and paying out huge monthly costs for prescribed medicines, which under a healthy diet are completely unnecessary. The story is just awful.

So along with everything else about getting away from the system that governs us all, food is a key player. ANd if you want to be smart, get away from anything packaged or processed, meat and dairy (as an adult). You don't need it and it ain't good for you.

More and more I am wanting to move up to Chumpon to Oi's family. It's a massive undertaking but one we should do. Hat Yai is looking like Bangkok more and more and with renewed bombings (very sucessfully belittled by the Press), it ain't no place to live, especially with a kid. Let's hope we make the jump soon.
