RICE WILL SAVE US ALL
Why are the Japanese like this?
RICE WILL SAVE US ALL
Why are the Japanese like this?
let me guess, isekai?
being proud of your country, culture and food is a foreign concept to westoids like OP huh
It did though
Almost every country and culture eats rice though.
Because you will get a loli baba rice goddess wife if you grow it.
MILK WILL SAVE US ALL
Why are the Brits like this?
It's true though. There is a reason region which has rice as it's stapple had a larger population than region with wheat in our world.
Rice is more versatile and nutritious than wheat but bread tastes better so wheat > rice
This.
How many of them call their meals morning rice, midday rice, and evening rice?
dairy marketers of the 90s are the entire population of Britain
Huh?
This:
Was meant to be a reply to this:
Gomen
idk whats the argument in the OP. I guess people think of the brit food memes like for some reason so maybe its about sushi.
I personally would much rather farm corn, potatoes, wheat on my own plot of land than rice. Less work.
Then if you consider like historical farming you'd have to think what the crops available in a specific region actually were, how the land was prepped (burning forests, crop cycles), what animals were available to till the land. All sorts of nonsense.
Like rice is really efficient to produce calories per acre, but thats after westoids genetically modified the strains to fit particular environment.
You can make bread with rice
Cabbage and pork is all you need.
Rice rots quickly, its terrible in places where it gets cold with limited growing seasons. Rice also requires large amounts of water compared to hardy plants like rye. Plus rice isn't as nutritious as other crops, which is why the meat eating milk drinking Mongols btfo'd the Chinese despite being outnumbered on a 100x scale since rice eaters are all weak and lanky. Plus Europeans had access to rice in the medieval era since it was grown in some parts of Italy like the Po valley and Sardinia so its not like its some unknown crop.
>MILK WILL SAVE US ALL
Milk is versatile and nutritious. You can live off dairy. Rice is filler.
It's limited scope of cultivation is why rice wasn't widespread outside of some of the most fertile farmlands of the old world obviously, but look at the places where it grew and their populations. And mongols beating China has fuck all to do with agriculture. They beat wheat eating Iran and Russia too.
You can have 4 rice harvests a year in subtropics and with flooded rice paddies.
Nips were being ravaged for centuries by Beri beri, a disease only ever found in poor negros in the Deep South, because they only ever ate rice lol
Japanese are as retarded about rice as westerners are about wheat.
Rice is more productive, but it is very restrictive on environmental conditions and way more labor intensive, which makes it unsuitable for most places. Hell, Japan ruined their soil after only a very short period of rice cultivation, and the "Muh crop rotation" meme you see in isekai is a meme because a German guy stopped by in like the 1800's and showed them how to do this, and saved Japan from their very own Dust Bowl because of their rice autism.
Japanese are so in love with the idea of rice, and value white rice so heavily, that they took suicidal positions in the Japanese military because they were allowed to eat white rice in unlimited portions, and ate it to the exclusion of anything else until they got beriberi.
You can live off goat dairy. This milk stuff is most certainly some retarded wignat pride shit, in which case you can't make that dairy claim, because most wignats think goat milks, which are digestible by anyone, is food for nonwhites.
Plus rice isn't as nutritious as other crops
Rice is the most nutritious grain.
most nutritious grain
eating it led to countless deaths due to thiamine deficiency
You can make steak with basedbeans, but that doesn’t make it more desirable.
thiamine deficiency
That's only related to a diet restricted to white rice only like happened in their navy for some years. Brown rice didn't cause that disease and normal people ate far more things than just white rice.
It has nothing to do with that. There's a reason northern china grows wheat and southern china grows rice.
The real answer to this question is that rice is a political issue in Japan. It's not just about the agricultural tradition of the country. It's also part of a common nationalist talking point about the need for national self-sufficiency. Because of this, pro-rice stances often appear in anime discussing the benefits of rice as a crop. For a very non-serious and humorous example, this is part of the joke with Bashame in Shikanoko. I can't remember which episode, but when asked about an opinion on something the deer club should do, Bashame instead talks about her support for political initiatives regarding Japan's national self-sufficiency.
Of course, not all pro-rice messages in anime or manga are about politics, and they shouldn't be treated as such. Some anime are influenced by this strange political topic in one way or the other, and many others are not. Anime is sometimes political, but not in the way xitter or reddit think.
Rice for Japan is the equivalent to grapes for France.
And the fertility rate in the countryside is higher.
Finland has policies of subsidizing food producers to be theoretircally self sufficient but it's not exactly a hot nationalistic topic compared to say immigrants.
you don't see this type of autism about corn
Rice requires thousands of serfs constantly engaged in the most back-breaking labour to be viable
wheat does not
why are bugmen like this?
That’s because billionaires don’t want you know everything has corn in it now and is killing us
pests and climate probably
rice is under water so some pests can't attack it
Milk
everything you need in an all in 1 drink
rice
cheap carbs
Milk is love, milk is life.
Are there any anons here who can tell us what breastmilk tastes like?
breasts are just sweat glands that put some more fats and proteins into the excretions
anon learns you are supposed to eat more than just grains
Okay, great. What does it taste like?
your sweat mixed with some milk powder and lard I guess
Goat milk has lactose too. The thing that makes it more digestible for some people has to do with weird protein sensitivities that are also present among Europeans. And you can live off any milk. The mongols mostly drank horse milk.
a thriving agriculture also reflects a nation's military force
armies have to eat
I guess
Opinion discarded. I want anons with firsthand experience.
Asking retarded questions like that on Anon Babble is probably a waste of time. Try asking a social worker.
indeed, loving all the replies coping and seething
because Big Corn has already won, crop arguments revole around fighting for 2nd place or for specific niches like beets/potatoes.
Happened in their Navy
You have it backwards. It happened to their Army. Their Navy had already figured that White rice is bad for war and took precautions.
It's one of the least nutritious. The Japanese switching from millet to rice is one of the reasons they were so small before modern times. The other reason being the adoption of Buddhism. And, like millet, wheat also has more protein. All agrarian peasants had bad diets overloaded with carbs. But bread eating cultures were at least a little better off.
It's also only nutrititous if you don't polish rice. The USA to make sure people who love eating rice more than wheat literally has to spray on nutrients on rice to make sure they don't die from horrible malnutrition diseases.
Didn't their Japanese Navy adopt brown rice or another one that was more nutritious compared to polished white rice?
That's also extremely common in a lot of countries that have a food dole rather than welfare payouts. They spray nutrient dust onto the rice and then give it to poor people so they can't go out and buy hot chip.
to make sure they don't die from horrible malnutrition diseases.
desu thats most foods in the USA, which is part of the reason normal everyday foods here have incredibly long ingredients list with BS. Even then most Americans have multivitamins to supplement.
Ahhhh
Rice is delicious
Rice doesn't work in a European setting. I really wanted to scream when I saw this.
There's a certain type of autism about potatoes. Their super power is that they're like the only food on which you can 100 % subsist without suffering from some shortage or another.
If you put onions sauce or butter on it sure. That's most grains to be fair.
Multivitamins don't help you. Most people just need one or two vitamin(or iron like mother has to do) pills at most and multivitamins actually do more harm than good.
Just ask your doctor which vitamin you are lacking in and then take only the pill for that vitamin.
They supplemented diets with other foods instead of letting soldiers eat exclusively rice to save money. Specifically, I believe barley was made free to eat as well.
How was this? I'm still playing the game.
Honey is nice too.
High quality rice really does hold up on its own and only needs a little salt.
Uh oh
Burgers won't like this one
rice has no gluten, you cannot in fact bake a decent rice bread.
You can use substitutes like arrowroot
shilling for millet
Grainlet detected. Millet is one of the worst grains out there. Every millet society from Germany to China abandoned it for wheat ASAP. Rice BTFOs millet
Not anything good. I tried it. It was awful. To be fair Bread used to be just crackers too.
Burgers can eat anything they want and like everything. It's brits who have limited choices for the diet since the loss of empire.
Definitely. Jasmine and basmati are the two I always have a big bag of, but all kinds of rice that comes in little bags that are expensive are bred with amazing flavor profiles too. I like to try random ones sometimes.
the rice that japanese historically ate was red unpolished rice. not sure when they started eating white rice though
Well that's the problem. Japanese eat white rice and it's not always fucking Jasmine.
Rice is healthy and good for you. But you should be eating it with beans for extra health points.
It's not like they ever used the spices for anything. Have you seen traditional brit cuisine? It's all grey slop and beans
Yeah. They like that short grain stuff too for making sushi rice and jelly donuts. It doesn't stand up on its own, but I get its purpose. You kind of need Glycine max sauce and a raw egg to enjoy it.
the weekly virgin corn eaters complain thread?
It's brits who have limited choices for the diet since the loss of empire.
what the fuck are you even saying
You can live off goat dairy.
I'm not brown. I can live off cow dairy just fine.
corn out of nowhere
ricel inferiority complex
abandoned it for wheat
Wheat is better than millet. But millet is still better than rice, which is what the Japanese abandoned it for. They were motivated by flavor, not nutrition.
