If they could make this a safe food, the benefits would be enormous. Thinking weight loss here.Yep, starvation certainly has a tendency to promote "weight-loss."

LOL! You have to include food with sustenance as well. The rice is just a filler. Sates the user. And, it is reusable, should the user want to go that far.

Yes, but it would give new meaning to “violent diarrhea”.

Haha. Yes, only the fiber is no longer organic, but plastic fiber.

Rule #1 - Never trust any food products from China. I try not to buy Chinese, but I can't find any canned or jarred mandarin oranges that aren't from there, and I really love them. I rationalize buying them anyway by telling myself Rule #1 only applies to PROCESSED food.

I have seen the truly poor in both Africa and South America patty moist dirt and sawdust with a ground weed that adds a little sweetness to the mix and feed that to their family.
To be honest though if the plastic “binders” get passed through while the carbohydrates and vitamins in the potato starch dissolve in the stomach then this could be a big thing for them.
As far as plastic goes if you ever knew what margarine was made from you would realize there isn’t much difference from it and plastic either, that’s why I still only eat real butter.

We grow Mandarin Oranges in the US south except we call them Satsumas.
"While the species originates from Japan, it does not originate from the Satsuma Province in particular. The towns of Satsuma, Alabama, Satsuma, Florida, Satsuma, Texas and Satsuma, Louisiana were named after this fruit. By 1920 Jackson County in the Florida Panhandle had billed itself as the "Satsuma Capital of the World."

"As far as plastic goes if you ever knew what margarine was made from you would realize there isnt much difference from it and plastic either, thats why I still only eat real butter." I think fat-free mayonnaise is in the same category.

Fat-free mayonnaise could be worse - they could’ve put that Olestra stuff in it.

Looks like the only safe food to eat these days is dog kibble. Feed the kibble to the dog. Eat the dog.
It's an extra layer of protection.
