Eat rice as your staple food? YES, I was actually debating on bringing my rice cooker when I moved here. It wouldn't fit in my luggage. 

If you don't eat rice, what's your staple food? My parents spent most of their adolescent lives in France, so I also eat a lot of bread!!

I would die if I tried the Adkins diet....

Eat rice as your staple food?: No

If you don't eat rice, what's your staple food?: Bread. I don't eat it everyday, but I eat it much more often than rice.

I suppose I'm a bit of a black sheep in my family in regards to not eating rice. When my relatives find out I don't eat rice, they're very surprised. I used to eat rice everyday like your average Asian(-American), but I haven't eaten rice regularly for over a year now. I suppose I stopped around the time I started getting interesting in nutrition. I don't think rice has a lot of nutritional worth, and the calories it takes up could be better spent on something else, such as more vegetables. I think the same of bread, but it's much more tasty than rice and I just can't seem to resist bread with herbs in it, so I occasionally have it.
