Most widely consumed
Second highest to maize in
world-wide production

Maize meant for other
purposes but rice is for
human consumption

Culture and regions
spawn dishes, wines and
desserts of all kinds

Obesity  is
serious concern though but rice
reigns as staple food

    Rice, isn't bad, but all grain is avoided at my pad
