That's a lot of rice. Congrats! People here are getting all self-righteous
about how we eat excessive amounts of starches but it hasn't hurt our health
none. We have a higher life expectancy than most of the US. It looks like we
get the last laugh. Our secret for a long life? Spam.

"Diabetes affects nearly 26 million Americans, but the Native Hawaiian and
Pacific Islander community is at particular risk. In fact, Native Hawaiians
and Pacific Islanders are more than three times more likely to be diagnosed
with diabetes, compared to non-Hispanic whites. This is due to higher rates
of risk factors such as being overweight and obesity, high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, and smoking. Within the U.S. Pacific Islands themselves,
the prevalence of overweight and obesity exceeds 90 percent and diabetes
approaches 50 percent in some areas."

It was always potatoes with everything when I was growing up. Not so much
now, but still a lot.

I don't suppose potatoes and rice are so different in that way. I still opt
for potatoes when there is the option
