[Leica] Oatmeal revisited

[jayanand at gmail.com (Jayanand Govindaraj)]

Spencer,
We have done it every day of our lives, nothing cooked in an electric
cooker, steam-cooked as it has been done for time immemorial down
here, and rice from the fields - no preservatives, no processing.
Everyone I know eats leftover rice - in fact it is called "payedi" or
"old", and is considered healthier than freshly cooked rice, and
traditionally eaten mixed with natural yoghurt (again home-made daily,
no processed stuff). I, too, am hearing about this things for the
first time! I can only think it must be caused by processing of one
sort or the other.
Cheers
Jayanand
