If we have the privilege of a stove, a saucepan & access to shops, whole grains are easy & so yum.
I love #porridge for this. I use a base of #quinoa flakes with linseed meal & chia, then add whatever else feels like fun - currently black #rice for gorgeous #purple colour, #amaranth for crunch, or #buckwheat for winter stodge. Maybe #sunflower seeds for added texture. Eat with #tahini (black tahini tastes amazing & looks like motor oil, wierd breakfast!) & #honey or #molasses, keeps me full for hours. Also delicious!
Even better for distractable me, I can start this when I wake up (put mixture in pot with plenty of water, bring to boil then put lid on & turn down to 1 on the induction cooktop) & even if I forget about it for hours it’s still perfect when I come back.
I love food.

#ClimateChange brings increased amounts of #arsenic in #rice.
"Concomitant increases in #CO2 and temperature resulted in a synergistic increase of inorganic arsenic in rice grain. The observed increase is likely to be related to changes in soil biogeochemistry... Modelled consumption of rice under these conditions resulted in projected increases in ... cancer and #health risks for multiple Asian countries by 2050."

Among the "exasperated" #ClimateChange specialists calling out government inaction is Dr Yuki Fukuda. I did a #Permaculture Design Certificate with Yuki and her husband Nathan 11 years ago, now she’s growing #rice in Nelson!

Never good when something so widely consumed becomes toxic. Even worse when policymakers ignore the facts or otherwise don't act —
Climate change will make rice, a staple around the world, toxic.
