Why do Asians eat so much rice?
<|assistant|>
Asians typically eat a lot of rice because it is a staple grain that is easy to grow and widely available in many parts of Asia. It is an essential part of the cuisine in many Asian countries and is a good source of carbohydrates and dietary fibre. Rice is also often a cheaper option than other starches, making it a popular dish among people of all income levels in many Asian countries.
