Senator Cynthia Villar Seeks Ban On Unlimited Rice Promo
Senator Cynthia Villar gives her reasons who she wanted to ban the unlimited rice promo of the fast-food chains and restaurants in the Philippines.
The unlimited rice promo has been one of the most popular strategies of countless fast-food chains and restaurants in the Philippines to attract more customers. Removing this promo might cause a big effect on the business industry.
One of the richest lawmakers in the country said consuming more vegetables and eating less rice can reduce the number of diabetic patients. Villar also said that she wanted to impose a ban on unlimited rice promo to reduce the risk of obtaining diseases.
“Ipagbawal na yang unlimited rice, masama yan. Pagbawal na natin yang unlimited rice kasi nagkakasakit tayo gawa ng unlimited rice na yan; we should learn how to eat vegetables,” said by Villar quoted by Summit Express.
Villar also said that the ban aims to help the government to acquire its rice self-sufficiency target as Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol seeks to achieve this goal by 2020. She also encouraged the public to consume brown rice instead of well-milled rice.
Recently, researchers from Harvard University studied the consumption of well-milled rice if it does really increase the risk of diabetes. The researchers concluded that the consumption of white rice might have something to do with our high glycemic index.
Associate professor Dr. David explained that consumption of white rice has a very low risk of obtaining type 2 diabetes. Less physical activities and modern lifestyle are some of the factors that can increase the risk of diabetes.
White rice is the primary or staple food of the Filipino people, so most of the restaurants in the country were offering an unlimited rice promos to attract more customers.
