in terms of making one fat, is it bread or rice?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9551) • Philippines 28 Oct 12

I wonder which will make one gain more weight---is it rice or bread? In our country rice is a staple, a part of every meal. Recently however, because of changing lifestyles, some people can already have a meal without rice but...

rice or bread

12 responses

cattibre It is not all about whether you eat bread or rice, but what kind and how much. Always try to go for whole wheat, but also look at your portion sizes. Just because it is a serving spoon of food doesn't mean it is considered a portion. Portions are much smaller...

Magz1989 @Magz1989 (271) • Philippines 16 Oct 12

Envious people are everywhere.

angelkarah050182 @angelkarah050182 (4980) • Philippines 16 Aug 12

Nowadays, we are all surrounded by envious people. I hope that they will stop their habits of envying other people. It's not good for them. They should move on to their lives. Do their best so that they'll achieve their goals in...

cattibre I think it is just human nature to be envious of others, but it is how far people take it that makes it bad. Some people let it consume their lives. They want what others have so bad that they stop actually working for it themselves and just sit around...

Does your family talk at the dinner table?

mortysmadhouse @mortysmadhouse (226) • Australia 8 Oct 12

My partner and I disagree on whether or not there should be talking at the dinner table. I grew up in a family where you chat about your day whilst eating. My Dad was a major chatterbox and would talk nearly the whole meal. Even...

Why are you hiding your wrinkles?

Always smiling @allknowing (130216) • India 16 Oct 12

I can understand hiding your wrinkles if they appear prematurely. For those who are fifty and above it is time the wrinkles are maintained which more often than not, add to one's dignity. What is your view on this. "[i]3am...

cattibre I agree with you, people look so dignified as they get older. I think it has to do with people being told that only young and skinny is beautiful. In my opinion some of the most handsome and beautiful people I know have wrinkles and graying hair. I think age...

how important is education to children?

kelly_berry79 @kelly_berry79 (23) • Philippines 2 Oct 12

Did you let yourself go after you got married?

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 30 Sep 12
