    Oh yummy. Can't wait to have some rice powder ... smothered with bloody, rare steak.
  • And hell got a bit colder.

    Rice is better than a LOT of garbage used for vegetable protein, and probably tastier. It is ALSO a good choice for good carbs.

  • One problem with rice is arsenic. You're not supposed to eat it every day, and most people don't cook it right to expel the arsenic.

    Steak. Factory farms. Right now if everyone cut down eating meat to every other day instead of every day, it would be a lot easier driving factory farms into the dirt. Alternating other proteins for meat every other day is a good idea.
  • Damn all this talk about steak is making me hungry :p.

  • What's the arsenic connection? I ask because I am in a place where rice is the staple food and is eaten by many for all 3 meals. I'll look it up but just wondering because that's the first I heard of it.

    • It's about the same as that grain staple in Haiti (miso or some such). A lot of people boil rice in just enough water that all the water absorbs. That traps the arsenic. What you have to do is boil it in about 3 times the water you need, and when it's done you drain the excess water and it gets rid of a lot of the arsenic. This is the same way the Haitians get rid of the arsenic in their grain staple. I think it's just something about the soil in areas where rice grows. It's organic arsenic as far as I can tell from the amount of research I did - but it's still bad for you in high enough concentrations and is bio-accumulative. Brown rice is just as bad as white for it - but since cooking in excess water then draining instead of letting exact amounts absorb gets rid of most of it, I'd say it's a pretty easy fix for someone wanting rice for dinner.

  • I live in Japan, where they eat rice for every meal (even breakfast!), but I've never seen even a hint of muscle on anyone here - even the dudes in the gym.

    • Most Asian Countries staple is rice. And yeah, there isn't a lot of Asians that have muscles. Aside from the animes or mangas.

    Personally, I don't eat brown rice. Don't like it. White rice has less arsenic.

    • I must admit when I saw that it was fantastic, I can't stand brown rice and I'm always told I eat the unhealthy stuff.

      What I did find interesting was brown rice being the highest with 7.2 but closely behind was pasta with 6.6.

      Like a lot of Italians, I too rather like my pasta.

  • Wow - thanks for chipping in on the research everyone! I find the results you folks came up with really interesting. It's also kinda disturbing. I love my pasta. I'll eat spaghetti with butter garlic and parmesan about like some people eat popcorn. Then there's the eggplant parmesan on a bed of pasta, and cajun shrimp linguini, and lasagna, and manicotti, and seafood linguini - and the list goes on. Of course, I boil it and drain the water, but.........

    Guess it's a good thing that I eat a lot of herbals to expel metals out of my body.
  • I'm not a fan of regular brown rice, however, brown basmati rice, I find delicious. =)

  • Mustard has nutrients in it that builds muscle mass. I'm surprised more body builders don't eat mustard potato salad and Reubins with mustard on them for muscle building. That'd be my fav if I was out to bulk up. And the sour kraut is probiotic, too. What the heck more could you ask for than that combo?

    Hugh Jackman for his Wolverine role ate 12 chicken breasts everyday with brown rice and broccoli. See how impressive he looks in the last X-men movie.

    • You should have seen how impressive my sweetie looked just before he dropped dead. Sometimes looks don't tell the whole story.

    Want muscles? Rice is the new meat

    Most people think of rice as a carbohydrate, but about eight percent of each grain is made up of protein. Axiom uses a fermentation method to extract and concentrate the protein, and the rest of the grain is used for things like rice syrup. The husks are burned to create power. "Every part of the grain of rice is used," Janow said. Healthy protein: Rice becomes the new meat for some Joe Mobley
