Now, back to rice. People who say that others shouldn't panic after
going out and buying 100lbs for themselves, that disturbs me a little.
100lbs is a lot of rice, at least 6 months worth even if you eat
it three times a day.
People who always have a year's supply on hand, as I believe the
Mormons are encouraged to do, don't create shortages when
there's a bit of panic in the air.
If everyone went out and bought 6 months worth of rice, there
wouldn't be enough to go around, which would lead to rationing,
which would lead to more panic.
