It's a Filipino Thing
observations about Filipinos by Filipinos (well, two of them)
I mean, white rice is just better

rice

Being the new year, everyone is all about being healthy.  A typical new year resolution.  This means crowded gyms, yes, but also means eating differently and healthier.  I get it.  With this new healthy lifestyle, you gotta make smarter choices, right?  My husband is suggesting I make the switch to BROWN rice.  I’m appauled.

I’ve lived ALL my life eating white rice.  Its like a religion in the Philippines.  You eat rice at practically every meal.  Breakfast, lunch, merienda, dinner.  Rice is a necessity.  And I don’t see how white rice could be bad for me!

But according to my doctor, brown rice is better.  I can’t agree.  White rice tastes so much better.  And look at Filipinos.  We aren’t overweight (making a broad generalization) and we’re relatively healthy!  And I have tons of family members in the medical field and they always eat white rice!

So I’m sorta on protest.  Am trying to keep with white rice as much as I can.  If this means eating it alone (without my husband), then so be it!  I will not abandon my Filipino white rice!!
