There is absolutely, posotutely a difference between Uncle Ben's and
the 100 lb sacks from the Oriental food store!

You should wash the rice from the Oriental food store, because the
stuff they use to polish the rice (remove the hulls, make it nice
and white, etc) is talc.  Talc is very not good for you to eat.

Rice you get from Uncle Ben, or brown rice, doesn't need to be
rinsed.  In fact, it probably WOULD remove some of the nutrients
from the Uncle Ben's if you rinsed it.
