This blows, especially for Asians.

Augh, this sucks. There's global shortage on rice supply. Plenty of places here are sold-out, except some of the more expensive markets. Can you imagine life without an abundance of rice? I sure can't.

no rice? were all screwed.

First the Honey Bees disappearing now this!

And rice is my most favorite side dish.

Stupid global warming.

Potatoes are nothing like what rice is. I don't think I'd be able to convert my diet from a daily bowl of rice to a daily potato. ;;

[otakuapprentice]

rice-->potato.....im sorry, i just cant see the trade-off.

That's funny, I went to ranch 99 2 weeks ago and saw a shit ton of rice bags. *shrug*

If we run out of rice, I'm moving to Asia.  Get it from the source. ;)

[JTchinoy]

I've known about this for a while now. My mom's been w00t-ing about how much profit Thailand's gonna get from the rice exporting. It's crazy. Apparently, most of the main exporters of rice are going to stop shipping rice and keep it for themselves, which is smart, but us Asians need rice from our home-countries. Haha.

I came from a Korean market on El Camino today, they too have a shitload of rice. :0
$10-ish for the big rice bag.

[K&K4ever]
