Dodgeball, this would be needed to have been surveyed with the all millions people of the world. However, it is most eaten in Asia, about everyplace in Asia and nearly most of Africa. It does seem the most popular anyway.

Yes it is, and it is far more satisfying eating rice than eating bread or potatoes. Try it, and you will know what I mean.

Answer 5

Probably - since it's eaten daily in Asia and that's a good proportion of the world's population.  But, in America, I wouldn't say that it's the most popular.  I'd think that pasta and potatoes are more popular starches here ......

Answer 10

I think it is, I eat it almost every day! my mom told me there is a shortage on rice, so that's why is it getting expensive to buy.

Answer 11

Maybe not THE most popular food in the world, but

certainly ONE of THE MOST popular.

There are infinite ways to prepare and eat it.

If you want, make yourself a batch of Mexican style

rice along with a pot of pinto beans. The beans you

can eat them right out of the pot or you can make

re-fries with them. Either way, combine the rice and

beans in a bowl and eat them with a few corn tortillas.

The rice and beans together make a whole protein.

You'll never have to eat animal meat again.

You can have red beans and rice, New Orleans style

as well. Loads of protein there too!

Good eating!!!!

I don't think it would be the most popular, perhaps the most eaten.

Different regions would have their own most popular, like pasta for the Italians etc

Answer 27

World production statistics in 2003 showed that total Rice production was 588.6 million tonnes, Wheat 549.4 million tonnes and Maize 637.4 million tonnes. Now, knowing that bread is made from Wheat and also Maize it would appear that Bread would be the most eaten food in the world. It has been eaten by humans long before rice became a staple diet in many countries. This does not mean that it is the most popular food in the world. I'm sure KFC or McDonald's would like argue that their food products are the most popular in the world.

Answer 28

As far as I believe, yes, rice is probably one of the most, I wouldn't say popular, but abundant foods in the world. It is a staple to most of the world. Different kinds of rice, but it's rice. I am Vietnamese and rice is served almost every day for lunch and dinner. Bread and pasta are not the most popular food in the world. It isn't even available in every country, but it is quite popular in America and Europe.

It is one of the most popular foods it is eaten in over almost all of the far east and middle east and almost half of Africa and many other countries not only that but it is also a big diet thing now so yes it is up there.

Answer 31

Before I answer that question, think about the billions of people in China and India. What do they eat? What do Japanese, Koreans, Indonesians and the rest of Asians eat as staple? RICE!!!
