Lets get our X tons of Duranium back!

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


On the topic of enrichment actually, why do people bother doing it if everybody who knows how to cook rice is just going to wash off all the vitamin dust anyways? Is washing rice a relatively new development historically, and back when enrichment was first implemented in the 20th century people were more likely to actually eat the vitamin dust (seems pretty unlikely, I would assume rice has been washed forever)? Is it just westerners looking at the success of enriching flours and thinking "oh let's do this with rice too" but not realizing that rice gets washed while flour doesn't? I would like to know more about rice enrichment, most of my knowledge on the history of food enrichment is in a Euro-American context.

Can confirm, semi-accidentally bought an Aroma years ago without doing too much research because it was cheap and the household needed a rice cooker. Absolutely indestructible, good quality, all the functions I've ever needed, and it was all of like $25 or something to boot.
