..most citizens of countries that use a lot of rice tend to live long lives and are very healthy, compared to those that live Western style diets.

Hmmm.

World life expectancy charts might disagree with this surmise. China = 74.6. USA = 78.8.

You can check out India, Polynesia, and Southeast Asia on your own.

The Japanese are amongst the longest-lived people.

One factor for the Chinese is that they often suffer deprivation, which would shorten their life.
