Why was brown rice considered unfashionable “poor people food”?
for the same reason brown bread (whole wheat) was. The other was smoother and ‘processed’ which was costlier than home made. Yes, it is better for you. But people weren’t aware of that. My mom says she used to be embarrassed that her mom sent her to school with sandwitches on home made bread. I guess that is why she never ‘inflicted’ that on me.
