Essentially it's not "bad". White rice IS over processed so you'd be better of with a brown or wild rice. Less of an insulin spike as they are more slowly digested and utilized.

Like RDyo said...brown rice or wild rice. I love wild rice, it has such character in taste.

That's pretty racist if you ask me.

Your grocery should have it. If you don't find it where you find regular rice go to the spanish section. It takes longer to cook and has a completely different consistency. Takes getting used to but you'll be hooked in no time.
