Bangladeshi exporters see conspiracy in recent fish ban to Tripura

[Indika]

se for preservative aka formalin not needed

, I dont think consumable fishes are preserved using formalin. That should be only ice. formalin is only used to preserve specimens not food products. Doubt fish from Andhra would be exported to tripura when orissa and bengal are nearby.

I get the reason behind it. I'm just saying most well-known stereotypes are based on some elements of truth lulz.

This BD penchant for conspiracies is also getting out of hand lately....its becoming a full fledged stereotype as well (conspiracy theorists). I don't think its a good one given you are a developing country with bad education.



Most BD people are in villages (thus gluttony doesnt really come into the picture for most).

The "elite" ones I have dined with are average....no different from others I have seen overall. No real obese ones or such that I know....most arent exactly prime healthy, but again its about the average. My best BD friend is very polite and has great table manners....even in casual setting he is quite picky and controlled compared to me (I launch into the food somewhat esp if im hungry and its good bong curries...yum).

bad education system yes.... totally bunch of fools who don't study and are not intelligent? that's not remotely true....
i count as a bengali... at least on paper! XD there are countless like me... and there are intelligent population in the country too... unfortunately the only oppurtunity they ever get is that scholarship to study abroad and then the oppurtunities they get elsewhere is just priceless compared to what they get in bd.....


villages are empty... bruh where do you think all these people in dhaka are from.... the overcrowding is because of people in villages thinking dhaka is a land of dreams (irony on that part)
well i have met very few people... (bd and foeigners alike... indians, pakistanis elsewhere) that have good table manners.... i lose my appetite with a little bit of chewing noise, spilling food off the plate etc...

most bd people are average to obese.... but very few in healthy category... healthy as in (atheletic)

And where did I say the latter? I am saying perpetuating all kinds of conspiracy theories ad infinitum while having such a system does no good for BD image or its long term maturity. Same goes for entire region btw (but it applies to BD more than others I have found). When its the non-educated simple village folk that come across as more sensible and down to earth, that is real cause for concern.

This complex among even those in BD educated class must go if it it to be a confident and sovereign nation. The more you invest in the fuel, the more tinder there is for outsiders (and foul thinking insiders) to wreak arson easily at their convenience.

BD is still heavily a rural country.

http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.RUR.TOTL.ZS?locations=BD

about 2/3rds rural currently. Thats a big change from the past where it was like 90%+, but most BD people live in villages (definition of rural). You are no different from rest of the region overall.

Heh you are bit like me then. I don't like noises and sloppiness....but I have become more forgiving with age coz I have broken bread frequently with even whites, chinese and others who are pretty noisy to my previous standards....so I go easy on people like my dad (slurp, relish, use full hand for eating, gulp noisy etc - but he does make an effort to keep under control) whereas before there would be arguments (specially when i was teenager lulz). It never made me lose my appetite though hehe....it was just really annoying to my ears.

Yah true. But its the case with desis overall. Too much starch and fat consumption (no benefit from being vegetarian or largely fish eating etc)....and not enough exercise (cardio or weights does not even come into question, its just a big fat zero). I am doing my bit to try educate everyone on need for better diets (decrease rice and potatoes and replace with protein etc) and more exercise (at least something good weekly)....but 90% are just too lazy and stuck in old ways. Only my mother has taken it to heart but she was always quite active to begin with. I expect her to live lot longer than my dad who is quite a lost cause overall health wise to me.

I was just brining up the question myself...
Sorry I can't quote and answer as I am on phone atm...

Bruv... although it's still highly rural... things are changing... fast. 15 years back approaching Dhaka airport for landing, you would see greens and tin houses... now a days multi story buildings everywhere...
(It's not factual but a rough scene of how things are changing)

Funny my dad is the one who taught me to not chew loudly... yet post 15 years old... he has been doing it! I got into fight with my dad when he questioned the way I eat later on in life multiple times XD... the last time we were together... we never really sat to dine together... rarely, time and circumstances! The rest of his eating mannerism is good but he seems to have gotten louder and louder with age! For the sake of keeping calm and not creating a bad atmosphere I mostly finish off with my eating among others as fast as I can, even if it means I am eating lesser than usual! I just hate people watching me eat or peopLe going haystacks over the dining table!
Miss my mum's though, I always dined with her... it was hard at first to dine without at here in ukraine!

I was plannIng to go to gym this Monday but I started preparing myself a week earlier... increasing protein consumption according to my body needs and reducing carbs... bad idea... I feel so sluggish and tired... I had two cups of coffee to stay active... haven't joined the gym yet... although I meet and satisfy my protein intake... just protein provides as much energy as needed to lose weight on a strict diet... which is to say not enough! So I have to bring in some changes and incorporate carbs in diet too... might just as well end up taking whey protein... it's too much of eating otherwise to meet goals!

Well I am talking about snapshot levels. When you randomly select 10 Bangladeshis right now....about 6 - 7 will be from a village.

I agree that things are changing (given before you could expect to get 8 or 9 in the same random sample) but thats true of whole region. By 2020 - 2030 it will be roughly 50% at some year...at which point the urbanisation pace will slow down. Developed countries it normally settles around 70 - 80%....sometimes a bit higher, sometimes lower.

If you have problem with finding time for gym, invest in some good dumbells at home. You can cover a large number of good weight training exercises (including squats) and bulk up fast. I still do dumbbell squats every other day (to failure/exhasution), it really enhances muscle growth all across the body. @Hell hound @django

Ideally you want to vary the type of squat lifting (high weight low volume...high volume low weight, medium of each)....but recent studies have shown even just doing one variation of them promotes long term muscle growth across the body (not just what the squats target directly - i.e quads, gluts, core, stabilisers). So doing just high rep low weight squats at home (esp to exhaustion) is much much better than doing nothing at all (the older theory was high weight, low rep was best for muscle growth - it may still be true for quicker gains, studies are ongoing). Doing till you cannot do one more is the key whatever the weight/reps you choose apparently.

As far as carbs, have you tried oatmeal? It has worked wonders for me over past few years (got much better lean, strong look and performance combining with eggs, meat, dahl across rest of the day)....it gives me fuel for a good half a day (eating at breakfast) and it is nice slow burning (so body not tempted to convert it into fat and excess blood sugar etc).

Obv you cant replace stuff with protein beyond a point (esp depending on your current body type and weight training activity)...but find whats comfortable for you and try have good whole grain carbs (like oatmeal, brown bread, atta roti etc) as far as possible for the carb component.

- Demand further investigation
- Exporters saying fish from Andhra Pradesh has the majority in Agartala market

- Some exporters allege swift ban incurred to unfairly increase decreasing market-share of fish from Andhra Pradesh

Who the hell are you videshis to demand an investigation?? We will send as many fish from one of our states to another as we please.

Bhai you should also try a spoon a day of coconut oil,,,,,,,try 200 consecutive squats, no weights required, a great workout indeed, I used to do this day in day out, first thing in the morning.Kudos

irony is that you don't realise the non bengali population are the one more familiar with this stereotype!

What stereotype? Its a fact....
