Did you know that rice is a staple food for one-third of the world’s population? I don’t know what that has to do with the story, but it sure makes the author look smart.

Nah - he's trying to tell us that he's NOT a hick - like his readers. All those third world rice eaters are MUCH smarter than yucky middle class Americans. I hate to break it to the liberal, but when folks in 'rice eating' cultures get some money, they eat meat. Ask the Chinese.

Me? I have Red Elephant Jasmine and Indian Basmati rice here - and almost bought red rice last week in an Asian Market. But unlike the reporter who wrote this, I don't need to lord my eating habits over folks who prefer mashed potatoes.
