White rice is even more potent than sweet soda drinks in causing diabetes.

The government needs to do something to protect the health of all citizens from this disease. The best way to combat this disease is to heavily tax white rice so that the cost of more healtier brown and red rice is lower compared to white rice.

This will help citizens make wise choice of eating brown rice or red rice. The tax should be around 400% of the cost of the rice.

We, the undersigned, call on the Singapore government to implement a tax on white rice, for the purpose of combating diabetes.
