Reply to comment by AFaultyUnit in Heavy metal concentrations in rice that meet safety standards can still pose a risk to human health by aboynamedbluetoo

Does your diet mostly consist of chocolate and rice?

Also, this study was done in China and they don’t export much rice. They are a net importer of rice.

I am approximately 70% chocolate by weight.

Its hard to tell where the rice is from. Packaging often lists 'made in' country which, afaik, can just mean the country where the rice was packaged, not where it was grown.

China is a net importer of rice. By a lot last time I checked. The US is a net exporter of rice. Do you live in the US?

Nope, EU. My rices say made in Spain (Risella) and Italy (Riso Pasini).

Ok. So not China. Probably not as likely to be as contaminated as some of the rice being grown in China. The EU is way stricter about food safety stuff than the US, and certainly China, from what I recall.

So, 70% chocolate; was there a mishap at Wonka’s chocolate factory?

So, you are a cross between Achilles and Count Chocula? Does that sound correct?

I was thinking Obelix, but i guess he's somewhat based on Achilles.

The physique is slightly different depending on the artist I suppose.
