  1. funny how 2 stores get named for limiting how much rice a person can buy per visit + all of a sudden there is a " rice shortage " here in America .

    Thing is the limit is 4 - 20lb bags per visit !

    who in the world would buy 80 pounds of rice , then walk back in and buy 80 more !

    Those stores obviously got a good deal on this rice + are causing a panic while raking in the profits .

    America is not having a rice shortage .

    There are countries having this prob but it is not here , don't fall for this BS !!!


  2. I'm Mexican. I really don't eat too much rice. Are white people contributing to hate crimes, racism, discrimination, closedmindedness? I strongly believe so.

  3. I have seen the all the news about the staples and the shortages...but, I think your question is a little condescending toward hispanics.  Not every mexican is eating rice, not every american is eating apple pie.  I don't think it is fair to say they are taking our rice from us.

  4. mexicans are not the only culture that eats rice. go look in your own back yard, you done pissed me off. im chicana and i go months with out eatting rice. i had chinease rice today not the kind i cook. i agree with the other person about the apple pie thing. theres no panic there just trying to sell sell sell.

  5. Your being misguided by CNN and a few warehouse outlets..

    Costco and Sam's club..

    a few entrepreneurs bought most of their stock.(?)all(?)

    and why not>> I try to buy bulk on sales..

    There is NO question the price of grains,, sugar etc and ALL foods are Inflated...

    So if you have $K ,,, and today it is still under $2.00 and you KNOW it is going to $4.00..??

    I don't think your fair about Mexicans..  the Asian and other Oriental restaurant owners are concerned  as well..

    Isn't it about time to ask WHY is America Exporting Rice Cheep. and giving it to depressed nations..

    And the food wholesale warehouses buying foreign rice at inflated prices...

    The ethanol cr_p is not the sole answer...

  6. I see Mexicans in Walmart, a lot of them, and they all had bagged rice in the cart. You people need to get over yourself, nothing wrong with being frugal in a country that has greedy industries, that are designed to rip you off. Mexicans do love rice, and nothing wrong with that. The rice thing is similar to the toilet paper thing, when people went out and cleaned the shelves, when it was mentioned of a shortage on the Johnny Carson show, Mr. Whipple did well that week. You people that were offended by this posted question,need to improve communication skills, and reveal your racial sensitivities, that are suspect of your racial hate. I hope to p**s you off as well!

  7. The shortage is not on Mexican Rice, it's Basmati Rice - which is Indian Cuisine. I use Basmati rice all the time and I'm not even Indian.

    Mexicans are not the only people that eat rice, lots of other cultures consume far more rice than Mexicans do. So I don't think that was fair of you to say that.

  8. Rice panic? I think not.

  9. I doubt it...  Also, who said that there's a rice panic?

    People concerned about a rice shortage seem like a bunch of little old ladies...
