So your comments are opinion? And by the way, I do agree with your statement that most of what is commercially available today was created to make money.
I'm very familiar with wild rice and other wild grains/seeds. I'm also aware that humans have only been on earth for a short evolutionary period of time.
The regular "white" rice is processed rice with the husk removed. As is most of the process and bleached foods many people consume. And I was aware of how other wild grains grow, as well as the fact that we've commercialized the grain industry. That's where trans fats and high fructose foods came from!
My point is that hunter/gatherers ate what was available to them where they lived and during the time of the year. Based on that, humans did "need" grains to live as there were no other food sources during certain period of time.
