We're running out of rice! The Chinese & Indians are eating it all!

[Hannah Bell]

You hadn't heard that one for a few weeks, just thought i'd remind you.

Scared?

[datasuspect]

1. i guess we need to invade

[Island Blue]

2. Nope. I'm not scared.

I've got a year's worth of canned tuna fish and powdered milk hidden under my bed. I don't need no stikin' rice!

[supernova]

3. That's OK, rice is off my menu anyway

Grains don't agree with me.

I"m only eating meats, fruits, and veggies, and the occasional meal replacement.

4. Our food supply is in danger because those third world

countries have more money than we do. Farmers here sell it for more there. This is where "free trade" your family to starvation is an issue.

The globalists in our government could care less about protecting and defending our families. They only care about profit and their bag of plunder when they leave office.

[Hannah Bell]

8. yeah, i've been to every store in town. none anywhere.

going home to starve now.

[mac2]

10. People panic and buy it up.

I see it in my food store for $8 a large bag. Not big rice eaters in my area.

Do you suppose Wall Street speculators will profit on the rice panic?

12. You need to go live on a farm...

[mac2]

13. With water fields since that's how they grow it.

The Gulf disaster from Katrina may have destroyed a lot of our US crops and farms. I don't know.

[ColbertWatcher]

15. I take it you didn't click on the link?

The link is a video from The YouTube showing a farm with lots of food and natural gas.

[mac2]

20. No. I didn't want to go there.

[ColbertWatcher]

26. Aww, you missed a cute video. n/t

[blondeatlast]

19. Try the Indian grocers. That's where my Indian husband buys ours... nt

[Gormy Cuss]

28. There's still plenty of Ramen noodles.

;-)

Locally here in CA, there have been several press stories about the new higher demand for California-grown rice in Asia...

[EstimatedProphet]

18. Yeah, those third world countries are really rolling in dough!

It must all be coming from Nigeria!

[mac2]

22. Even Mexico is richer than us.

We have huge debt...many generation out thanks to this Congress and President.

[EstimatedProphet]

25. That we do, but third world countries don't have a lot of free cash

[ColbertWatcher]

5. I thought we weren't supposed to waste food, because...

...they were all starving over there.

Now, I hear they're eating all the rice in the world!

This is outrageous!

Will no one think of the children? Or, whoever we're supposed to think of at times like these.

[mac2]

7. That's propaganda.

Don't know about you but my refigerator has left overs which usually are eaten for lunch or snacks.

[ColbertWatcher]

11. Pfft. Peasant.

As soon as I am done with a meal whether the plate is clean or not, I throw out my old fridge and buy a new one.

You must work for a living.

[Enrique]

6. Peak Rice?

:scared:

[mac2]

9. Enique you made me laugh!

29. It's God's punishment for those marshmallow ghosts

Consorting with the spirits of the dead is eeeeevil! Eeeeevil I tells ya!

[Warpy]

16. Running out?

There is no shortage. There are only hoarders creating a false shortage because prices are going up and they want to make a buck on other people's hunger and misery. Prices are going up because of commodities gamers.

They've got the right idea in the Philippines. They throw hoarders into prison and distribute what they hoarded to the poor.

[old mark]

17. Send us More Grits!

[mac2]

24. Nope. They need that corn for making alcohol for gas.

[Clark2008]

21. Rice bloats me and gives me heartburn

I really don't like carbs that much.

[GodlessBiker]

23. They can have the rice, we'll take the beef.

[NewJeffCT]

27. I haven't noticed any shortage here

my local Asian grocer had pallets full of 20-25 pound bags of rice, as usual, the last time I bought rice there.
