This just an Asian Americans problem. Most other Americans don’t eat much rice any way. I and my wife have rice 6 days a week. The seventh day we have beef rice noodles.

We used to pay $16 for 50 lbs of rice, now we are paying $40 for 50 lbs. But because 50 lbs will last about 3 months (for two people), it is not a big issue.
