I'm on board with the fiber research, though... I'm trying to get in the habit of incorporating several types of fiber and setting an interim goal of getting 50% of the RDA each day, if not more.
Nice. Occam's razor, man. And all that wasted effort on diet research and then all those books published and sold. I think this explanation is correct. It turns out that a kilo of rice a day for a family is maybe not the best thing. I always wondered about that. That was the traditional working man's wage, back in the day.
