    i was doing a fast recently, just going light on my stomach. When I had some rice my sex drive 'turned back on' quickly. Is rice the culprit for large populations?

    Taking Ireland as an example the average family size has greatly decreased over the past 100 years, rice consumption has increased.

    What conclusion would you draw from that?

    Hard to draw a conclusion from that. While certainly rice consumption has gone up in Ireland it is not a subsistence/everyday food as it is in other places.

    fair enough I guess.

    Even so I would imagine that you probably know that rice is not the reason for large populations.

    You might perhaps argue that without rice some countries might have much smaller populations, but that would be because many people would starve, not because rice is an aphrodisiac.

    That's what makes this painfull. As I went seraching for any info or reserch, I found hundreds of links to information about increasing crop yields.
