The Don't DoctrineFood prices rise, eat less rice
To deal with the global shortage of food commodities, the govt is calling the people to reduce rice consumption.
Agriculture and Agro-Based Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said this in response to the Thai Government’s recent call for their people to reduce rice consumption to address the global increase in prices and acute shortage of staple foods.
"Each adult Malaysian consumes a per capita average of 77kg of rice per annum so there is room for a reduction by substituting it with a greater intake of vegetables and an emphasis on a health-conscious diet," he said after visiting the Merdeka padi scheme in Mulong with Kemubu Agriculture Development Authority chairman Datuk Seri Annuar Musa.

Price of vegetable increases, eat grass.
Price of petrol and diesel increases, don't drive cars.
Price of water increase, drink NeWater or well water; no well water, drink rain water; no rain, drink what?

The Minister said that the Government will introduce a "holistic" package to deal with the global shortage of food commodities. It's the first time I understand what is holistic; be holy towards the government - don't eat, don't drink, don't use petrol, don't spent money ... only a dead man can!
