Hmmmm. I really love rice but since my diet requires not to eat rice anymore. Now, I am into vegetables and trying to avoid too much rice. It has been proven that rice can make you gain more weight. Before, I used to eat brown rice and it was good. Do you eat rice? If not, what is your alternative?

There is no other choice, I eat rice, I can not live without rice. In China, rice is our staple food. We are here to eat rice every family. Rice for us is very important. It has the necessary nutrients our bodies.

Rice my most favoured cearal and in my country, it is a sort of luxury food only afforded by those who have money or those who grow it. On most of our big occasions like national days or parties, rice is a must on table!

Hi there! I haven't tried brown rice, but I've heard that it is healthier than white rice. I grew up eating rice (white) in most of every meal, but now I only eat them every other day. In some days that we don't eat rice, we just have salads, sandwiches or pasta.

I do eat rice because it is the staple food of our country. We do eat it everyday, in good occasion we serve the best rice . Rice and food is a good combination. And we used to cook a lot of curies here and it taste so good when you eat it along with hot rice. I think chappati will never be an alternative for rice because it will not satisfy me when i eat bread, roti, i will still look for rice.

I am trying to cut down on the rice and pasta but I will not cut it out completely, I like it too much. I just eat smaller portions now.

ya i eat white rice with almost every meat that i eat. i think its good when i put some butter and salt and pepper. the only reason that i eat rice is because it fills me up so that i dont have to eat a lot of food. another thing that i like is that it gives me energy so i can stay awake throught my class at school. other then those reason, i really dont eat a lot of rice. not a big fan of adding to much to it unless it fried rice.
