Rice is tasteless – Sugar is sweet. There is only so much that you can eat at one sitting. How many teaspoons of sugar can you eat before you feel like throwing up? Could you imagine eating 10 tea! spoons of sugar in one seating?
Rice is always the main part of the meal – While sugar may fill your dessert or sweeten your coffee, it will never be the main part of any meal.

If everybody cut down the rice intake by half, sure there will be less demand on raw rice
this mean less demand in cooked rice definally the price of raw or cooked rice going down but most important thing is we can have a healthy life.
Remember more rice equal more sugar. take nessacery rice do not take too many
Together we can make things happen let use our consume power to control the price
not the supplier.
