I hear ya'. I only got to 630 grains before I had to quit and move on to something else.

I just ate rice and homemade black beans. This charming exercise did have me wondering how many grains I ate. :idontno: Kinda' puts it in perspective, doesn't it?

But, what's a few minutes a day if it provides even just one meal? Gotta digg that!

Minnie, how many grains do you think can make a nice hot bowl/meal? Maybe 150?

Now, I want to count them before I cook them. I love this thread!

Alright alright! You've shown me to be a serious slacker. I got to 200 grains and felt so proud of myself and now I know I have to sit with a dictionary to catch up to the big girls! The trouble is the words are so interesting and I like to figure out how they're trying to fool us with definitions that are similar but not the same. Pretty sneaky and pretty funn.

I promise to blow off a chunk of time on behalf of all the hungry bellies out there. I can become an egghead if it means I'm a charitable one. :blush:

I'll bet someone here knows. But, the next time I cook up some rice, I am going to count! I'm certain we're all contributing to the UN's cause much more than we realize! That's a good thang!
