Hmmm where is he going with this...?

I'm from a brown rice heavy childhood.... it can be tasty, to be sure, and if you cook it right it shouldnt be dry. But its also so tough to chew.
What I get sometimes instead is Haiga rice- half milled rice. Supposedly it retains more of the benefit.

I remember when my mom first switched out white rice for brown rice. It tasted so bad, everyone at home just never finished their plate.
I think she switched to a different brand later on because we eventually got used to the flavour and were able to eat it normally.

While I'm on my own though? I'll get white rice every time, nutrition be damned.

Yeah admittedly Haiga rice is about as far as I'll go.... I just trust the other dishes to pick up a little of the slack. But if you ever spot it around, Haiga rice is p much just the same as white rice, but with a slight nutty aroma and a lil more firmness. Not so great for a rice ball, but lovely for sauce heavy dishes or breakfast.

Also what was happening with moms and brown rice...... suppose every childhood has something in the search for better nutrition.

Mothers always (poetic) want what's best for their children. It's reasonable that they'd chase these nuggets of wisdom.

What I can't stand is when people take advantage of this concern and sell things like radiation cancelling mumbo jumbo, preying on the insecurities of mothers for their children. My mom fell victim to one of these. Pisses me off every time I think about it. The brown rice fad at least had some actual science behind it.

No lie but force the girls to be starved from white rice is wayyyyy too far
