Eating less rice benefits farmers, the environment
News, Sawai Boonma, Published on 01/10/2014
» Growing up in a typical rice-farming family — my mother was also a rice noodle vendor during the dry season — I am accustomed to eating rice or rice noodles three times a day and have a lot of empathy for rice farmers whenever rice prices are low.

I believe this not only helps rice farmers, but also reduce my environmental footprint. It will also make me relatively healthier.
