What people are saying about Have A Rice Day

“At the restaurant I ordered just a bowl of rice. The servers were surprised until I explained that I was participating in Have a Rice Day. Then they really liked it and said they should do the same thing.”

 

“This was a humbling experience, but one I am glad I did. I know I can have more to eat…even in an hour if I am hungry…but to think that so many people live on this amount of food every day…that has really impacted me.”

 

“Wearing the Have a Rice Day buttons is kind of fun. People ask me all the time what they are about.”
