Does not sound as hilarious and endearing as our locally produced film Money No Enough!
90% do not eat enough of fibre yet it helps you live healthier and longer.
It is ironic that in a society of overconsumption many miss out on this important food
When money is not enough all sorts of problems surface such as relationships with family, friends, and even co workers
When fibre is not enough conditions like high cholesterol, diabetes, overweight, affect the overall health. Adequate fibre intake in linked to a decrease in colorectal cancer
Crazy Rich Asians had rave reviews and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. However most Singaporeans prefer our local Money No Enough and Money No Enough 2 . They leave the audience with a feel good factor. It is definitely more relatable.
How do I convince the 90% of us to feel good about increasing fibre in the diet
Positive message - On the question of health whose side are you on ? The good or the bad side. Focus on the good

Singapore is not a salad eating country
Local favourites such as chicken rice, fishball noodle soup, fried Hokkien noodles and mee rebus win hands down
Try looking for vegetables in the photos
Chicken rice and fish ball soup

Mee Rebus

Fried Prawn Noodles $3 from Hawker Centre

Fried Prawn Noodles from Food court with air conditioning comfort and served on opeh leaf $5.80

Verdict: The $3 plate tasted far superior. It was actually fried. The other pricier plate had noodles cooked in soup/stock and served. It was soggy. Whatever the price there is a definite lack of fibre!
You are missing out on fibre on all local favourites!

A picture tells a 1000 words!
The photo shows 2 scenarios
The left shows how much fibre comes with your plate of wanton noodle or mee goreng
The right shows your recommended intake of one serving of fibre
Louisaz says do not short change yourself of fibre
