Sen. Dick Gordon is running for President of the Philippines in this May 2010 elections and he is encouraging fellow Filipinos to eat less rice.
“We should eat less rice … because [too much is] bad for our health. Diabetes comes with too many carbohydrates. I would like a campaign like that,†said Gordon, the standard-bearer of the Bagumbayan party.
Carbohydrates like rice break down as sugar and are stored as fat when not burned as energy. And an eat-less-rice program fits the doctor’s prescription against lifestyle diseases like obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes, Gordon said.
What can I say? Bravo!!! Sen. Dick Gordon hits a home run with his less rice is healthy issue.
Personally, I don’t eat rice. Stopped eating rice more than 2 years ago. I found out I’m all the better for it. In my family, my wife has reduced her rice and we have been encouraging our children to eat less rice. We want more protein and more fat. The more raw the better.
The logic I follow is the original diet of humans is a Raw Paleolithic Diet. For those still adjusting, they cook their meats. Me, I do not.
For the record, I’m voting for Dick Gordon for President because I and my wife know him personally to be a dedicated administrator who delivers far beyond your dreams. With Dick Gordon at the helm, the Filipino people will achieve more in 6 years than it has in the last 20 years.
