Have you eaten rice today?

Your- ... nvm...

But still, why do you want to dis on high-carb food? It solves hunger, and it made Wang Lung rich! Not to mention China produces enough rice in a year to supply themselves for 7 years (at some point in history).

Rice doesn't come close to tasting good, no matter how it's prepared or what it's paired with (condiments). It's putrid. Also eating the same thing EVERY DAY is gross as hell. Even if it's good for you.
