How much rice does an adult eat a day, if that's all they ate?

How much does rice cost?

@Mitsuwa, Japanese rice is ~$1.25/lb
rice futures
- rough rice is how it is as it comes out of the field
- contracts are for 2000 cwt/hundredweight, or 224,000 pounds of rice
- Milled rice is white rice in a final consumable form. You can get the milled price by multiplying the rough rice price by the milling rate. This gets you the wholesale price.
- Or just look here for the milled price.

So, what's the minimum cost per day?
