When I was growing up my Japanese mother always told me that if I wasted a grain of rice a million people would starve because every gain of rice you plant.... I've never left a grain of rice in my rice bowl or on my plate, and if I have steamed rice leftover I always eat it for breakfast, hence no rice for the garbage disposal.
