in defense of white rice

I think white rice is getting a bad rap. I am Asian so undoubtedly biased but billions of people are literally living off white rice! I eat it nearly everyday but in moderation. Filipino dishes cannot be paired with anything else.

I buy white rice by the huge bags. My grandmother lived to be 92 and white rice was a staple for her. I plan on the same. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
