[NEWs GEN] Why young Koreans no longer rely on a rice-based diet

[@SS-wz8po]

It is not the rice, it’s our overall daily diet and lifestyle that determines everything including weight gained.

Good

[@Garnishes]

why not export it if there's so much surplus? and if bakeries are so popular, govt should subsidise the purchase of rice flour to bakery factories

[@jiaweike3518]

This maybe due to the shortage of rice farms due to increasing population in South Korea. Eating rice is healthy but people don't want to farm rice and some people preserve rice with alcohol. South Koreans can trade rice with North Koreans if they still want rice. Farming rice is hard work and may require machinery to harvest fresh rice.
