Of course I agree, and thanks in return for the compliment .
I understand what you mean - in the UK our health service can hardly cope with current levels of obesity, smoking, and alcohol abuse. It's mainly free at the point of use but we pay for it through our taxes. Our health care system is very different to that of the Philippines. The common illnesses of our two countries are surprisingly similar. Probably most members realise this and therefore know what can be done about it - information and advice is here on the forum. The type and amount of dietary rice is just part of the recipe for health.
