Offbeat eateries -- Cabbage and Condoms
Filed under: Entrepreneurship, Extracurriculars, Food
Tired of the same old Applebee's and Cracker Barrel fare? Well, fortunately, you're living in the 21st century, where choice reigns. We've pulled together some suggestions for places that offer novel dining experiences.
Some countries (yes, you, South Africa) bury their head in the sand when facing the AIDS epidemic, so it was gratifying to see the bold approach taken by Thailand's Population and Community Development Association. They operate several restaurants under the name, Cabbages and Condoms, including one at their romantic Birds & Bees Resort.
The Condoms part, the use of which is promoted for both AIDS prevention and birth control, is reflected in the décor, not the cuisine, thankfully. The walls are covered in gaily-colored condom wrappers, the carpet with condom-promoting cartoons, and condoms, rather than mints, are available at the register. The lounge is called the Vasectomy Bar, which may make it a great place to meet single women.
The fare is mainstream Thai, including generous use of the cabbage, a staple in the country.

There is no such thing as safe sex using a condom, didn't you know that? Now a days you can put on a condom and get an incurable dicease while kissing.
So the best way to practice safe sex is to wait until you are married and do it with your spouse only.

Well guess what Carlos. You can wait and get married. Your spouse cheats on you and catches something and then gives it to you because you don´t know any better. The restaurant is a great idea. What some people don´t understand is that because you don´t talk about it or because you give out condoms you are promoting sex but people are going to do it anyways if they want to. So its better to promote safe sex and although its true you can still get something because contraceptives are not 100% either but with them it helps the spread of diseases and unwanted pregnancies!
