no sarcasm, I was in Seoul for their annual parade day when they pedestrianize the town centre and all the Korean war vets come out in uniform. A great family day.
What amazed me was there was the typical 3 generation of each family there and there was 1’ in height difference between each generation everywhere I looked.
I have several friends who are pediatricians in SE asia and they all said, it was getting off rice.
They know full well in poorer parts of asia there are lots of malnutrition issues and its from the locals thinking they should feed children polished white rice they wash to oblivion so its just a starch stomach filler. PPP food
One of my friends was doing work for the gov in Malaysia with orang asli, they can see the kids suffering so they ask how they feed them, same old wash and wash the rice then feed it to them.
They shock the mothers but it works, they wash the rice and then get the kids to drink what was washed off the rice and dont feed them the rice.
A couple of days and the kids are back to normal.
