...which isn't to say there is nothing holding together all the different sectors of the eating public. Whether in the form of bizarre, genius fast food like KFC's Double Down, a fried-chicken, bacon and cheese sandwich in which two breasts serve as the bun, or the latest high-end fondues, foams and organ fritters, we all have an "open desire for more stimulation." We're at least American enough to all have that in common, anyway...

But, he says, "peer influencing" of the type that goes on at these meetings - relating to commonsensical practices, like hand washing and good hygiene - certainly helps.

"It's a deadlocked situation," says Sompop Manarungsan, another Chulalongkorn economist. Plenty of Thais are fed up with both political factions and just want a government that isn't constantly stuck in crisis mode. Abhisit has offered dialogue with the red shirts' leaders, but no amount of talking over the past four years has resulted in any political conciliation. Equally distressing for Thais, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, often considered an arbiter of last resort in Thai politics, has been...
