Jap's Opinion on Rice...

Brad Hirakawa...a Japanese bad-ass who calls himself a "Jap" writes the coolest rebuttal EVER on why not to eat rice...here is the part of the thread...get more and read the whole thread at Robb Wolf's site: robbwolf.com.

"While I am warming to the Paleo Diet, this article brings up the one thing that’s bothered me about the whole Paleo/low carb eating philosophy. Rice. Asian cultures eat mostly rice and seem to be doing quite well. Rice is the one food that is most difficult for me to wrap my head around as far as eliminating it goes. Where am I thinking wrong?"

"Got Milk? No, I don’t. My mother tells me infant formula of the lactose laden variety induced projectile vomiting that closely resembled a leaf blower with an intake coupled to a dozen large cow tits. These days, it turns my feces to liquid and inflates my guts with noxious fumes. Admittedly, were I a single man, the diary super-gal that Robb introduced on this website could definitely convince me to chug a glass of milk. Damn the consequences. If you can digest it, I envy you… you bastard.

Got Rice? No, it rots my teeth, gives me zits, makes my restless leg syndrome act up and provides my body with about as many nutrients that I could get from licking my dogs anus.

Got meat, veggies, nuts and some fruit? Yes I do and I’m a 5′10″, 185lb half-Jap with no measurable body fat who is the second tallest (next to my brother) and strongest member of my clan in the past few thousand years. I can actually grow a beard. Horny 24/7, mean as a dung beetle mid poop gather, and call me crazy but the smell of the testosterone standards at my laboratory remind me suspiciously of my sweat.

Rice is for locusts and people who were unfortunately born into a situation where they have few other food choices.

If evolution is a farce then the world is flat.

Paleo is my momma, Robb Wolf is my daddy.

Brad"
