How Stubborn People Are About Food

We talked about White and Brown Rice and he wants it to be true so bad that White Rice is grown white and is in fact not Brown Rice without the husk that he is in total disbelief! He tells me again the next day after his Asian theory of how they all eat white rice that it has to be grown suppurate then brown. He even made a phone call to a friend in Singapore and this person tells him it is grown suppurate as 2 different rices and he continues to tell me I'm wrong. I didn't argue the 1st day nor the second as he had me even in confusion until I did more googling on the net. I find it best to leave it alone and if he does go the healthy route as he claims he will learn about the Rices and then learn the truth on his own. I'm not knocking White Rice but on a daily basis I'm going to feed myself and my children Brown Rice and save White Rice for days when I have Sushi. A conversation like this is like a person that believes the Rock when he says in the Abs Diet commercials that you can spot reduce fat from your belly 1st and you can do it buy eating Pizza often. I still remember that commercial, The Rock: Pizza thats right Pizza you can burn fat and form the belly 1st and do it by eating Pizza and eating it often. Funny thing about that commercial was he had a look on his face like he really didn't believe in what he was trying to sell, he kind of looked like he was at a funeral! -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

I often get the "You shouldn't drink Whey protien, it will make you fat, you should have a slim fast instead". Just because it says "slim" doesn't make it better!
