It seems to me that I read in emementary school that you can starve on white rice so it's a waste of money anyway unless you want rickets.

In the US our shortages are mostly the result hoarding brought on by media induced panic and speculation.

Hawaiians are gonna go apeshit.

You get sticky white rice with the big breakfast at McDonalds there.

When the Longshoreman go on strike there is a immediate rum n TP and rice on the Islands.

I call BS... I refuse to believe Jesda would feign health consciousness - rice doesn't taste like Bacon... unless of course it's prepared in bacon grease, then I might believe it.

Either way... I can somehow understand a rice shortage, but there's zero reason there should ever be a flour shortage in this country. If it were to get to that point, then that's the day we better stop being the "breadbasket" of the world by exporting half of our wheat to foreign markets. I've got nothing against anyone else... but we have enough things to worry about on the homefront and feeding ourselves should never be one of them.

Rice....with bacon bits mixed in...Jesda, are you hearing this???

[Jesda]

Been there, done that. Bacon isn't that bad for you until you add it to burgers and steaks or have more than a couple thin strips at a time. Two slices and a cup of rice is a good way to start a morning.

for you it might be just a slight raise in price. For others in poorer countries it means they have to do with half of the food which was already scarse...

I have bags of rice in my cupboard that are older than my son.
I am not overly worried about it.
I also have a Costco membership so anytime I need a 15 year supply of rice I'll go up there and buy a bag.
