The lion’s share of people I work with eat rice for 1st break, lunch and 2nd break.
Tired of rice.
I won’t eat it.

I’m pretty sure that plastic and rice taste different.

I’ve seen plastic raw stock for some injection molding processes that does look like rice.
I don’t know the actual costs of production of either, but I’m betting that producing those plastic ‘rice’ pellets is on a par, or maybe even more expensive than producing actual rice.

“Could your rice be made from extremely poisonous pods made from VX gas?”
OH MY GOD!!! I’ll never eat rice again.

I saw another video of someone in Jamaica cooking this rice and warning everyone to check their rice by heating it in a pan to see if it melted. I don’t know, it sure seems like rice and plastic smell a LOT different.

If people cannot tell the difference between farm grown rice and plastic, they deserve it. What silliness.

In Japan I have heard of hair raising Chinese cases of.....
1. Fake baby milk - killed many babies
2. Fake eggs
3. Fake cooking oil —taken from REED groves in extremely contaminated ponds
4. USED TAMPON material used for the center portion of STEAM BUNS (not made up)

This has been around for a while:

Chinese fake rice is on shelves
China famous for having all, making all, has now been reported to have made rice out of plastic and has distributed it.
The Korean-language Weekly Hong Kong in Hong Kong quoted Singapore media that Fake rice made out of plastic is massively sold on the Chinese market.
According to the report, some distributors are selling fake rice in Taiyuan, Shaanxi Province, and this rice is a mixture of potatoes, sweet potatoes and plastic.
This plastic rice is made by forming potatoes and sweet potatoes into rice-like shape, then adding industrial synthetic resins, said a food expert. Since the rice is different from normal rice, it is hard like stone even when cooked. Moreover, the synthetic resin in it is very harmful to the human body.
One Chinese restaurant association official warns that eating three bowls of plastic rice is the same as eating one vinyl bag. He added that since the rice is very dangerous there would be strict investigation on the rice factory.
In the mean time, merchants say that as the fake rice can leave huge profits, it is still sold in mass quantity.
This is not the first time for fake rice e sold in China. A Chinese television report has alleged that a company in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, has been producing a fake version of high-quality "Wuchang rice" by adding flavoring to ordinary rice.

I heard the COOKING OIL scam was so widespread that for a time in many parts of China it was common to BRING YOUR OWN COOKING OIL DONATION for use to prepare YOUR food by the staff at that restaurant.

Fake baby milk:
Used to be it couldn’t be detected. Then a protein content test was made that busted the scammers. The scammers then learned if they added MELAMINE (or something) to the fake milk then it would pass the new test.
A catch:
If you added a lot it would kill the babies who drank that milk.
A story:
The poor guy selling expensive European milk had almost no customers a long time ago. Then the massive DEAD BABY story hit the headlines and NO ONE in China wanted their babies drinking Chinese milk, no matter how many guarantees were extended. That poor guy became a HUGE millionaire in maybe just a few weeks, the was the ONLY go-to guy at the time, and he was flooded with orders.

That and a few other incidents sparked foreign food craze among Chinese who have some money. They tend to only trust food products made outside China.
It still continues today.
In U.S., there have been deadly fake blood thinner and fake drywall scandal, to name a couple of incidents involving imported Chinese products.

I’m pretty sure plastic grains, and rice grains “absorb” water differently, too, stating the obvious.
To: Cicero
Well, you know those Chinese. They’re pretty sneaky. Taste is no problem, but the texture is a little tricky. /s

I suppose that they are lucky. Rice only has large bacterial contamination.
