jim, what do you mean by empty calories in rice?
Justin Z:
If I'm not mistaken he basically means that eating a bowl of rice is more or less the same thing nutritionally as eating a bowl of sugar.

That's one cup of cooked rice.

Not really. Blindness is a near epidemic in some asian countries because rice represents almost the entirety of their diet. Evil corporation Monsanto made up "golden rice" to try and alleviate this but managed to muck it up like they do everything else.

i see your point but that doesnt mean it has no nutrition, it just doesnt provide full nutrition, but to compare it to sugar is wrong.
