   As regards the white rice proposal as cheapest foodstuff,   
   I expect that brown rice (more nutritious as well) would   
   have a lower cost of production thanks to the omission   
   of processing steps (as with whole wheat flour or raw cane   
   sugar) but has a higher retail price because of market   
   conditions that would not exist in a bare-subsistence-level   
   society.   
      
   As regards Mr. Kellogg,I note that I've been eating some   
   supermarket-house-brand corn flakes from a lower-priced,   
   larger-capacity package than one of his namesake corn flakes.   
      
   Were these students concerned with contemporary market   
   conditions or theoretical survival necessities?

   The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,   
   at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
