Slang, if you don't know by now, Asians need their rice....everyday. In college, I knew this Japanese American. He spoke poor Japanese for he grew up here with his Japanese mother while his American father stayed in Japan. Wait, that doesn't make sense. But I remember correctly that his mom is Japanese because I borrowed her kimono for something. Anyways, he once told me that he needs rice everyday. If he doesn't eat rice, he misses it. Another example, my mom feels that we need to eat rice. If we don't serve her meals with rice more than 2 days, she'll ask for it. She even gets on my case if I don't pack rice for lunch for my nephew. My mom would nag me to cook rice in the morning. What for, I ask. To bring for lunch! Why? I'm packing chicken nuggets. The poor baby! He hasn't had rice for 2 days!

It's true. People get cranky without their rice.

It's easy to get here. And cheap so that's good.

Your gut bacteria crave whatever they are used to eating, because by definition you have grown species that thrive on what you've historically eaten. Rice is a unique starch that encourages very specific bacteria. If you build up your colony by eating a bunch of rice every day, then suddenly starve them by not eating rice for two days, they will literally begin dying and releasing toxins that make you grumpy and tell your brain to get them the food they need before the colony perishes.

You've not been around recently, so you wouldn't know; I have a damaged liver and am not allowed to drink.
And even I would have been hard pushed to drink that much Southern Comfort for brekkers!

So yes, apple juice.
And I don't know if it was mine or Dana's. I refilled a couple of times with different juice and tossed them all off in a single swallow.
Some habits are hard to unlearn.

Oops. Sorry to hear that Sundae.

Sort of. Not every food is unique enough to encourage a radically different combination of bacteria--most fruit is biologically pretty similar, for example, lots of fructose and fiber. And not every species of gut bacteria has evolved the same ability to affect the human brain in the same way. Plus, nothing happens in a vacuum; even as one species starves, another thrives to fill the niche. What we're just now figuring out is what other things these bacteria do for us. Some bacteria that thrive on high-fiber diets, for example, have recently been discovered to release substances that help modulate our immune systems. Without fiber, they never grow, and your immune system maybe doesn't get everything it needs. But just like tending a garden, you have to consistently eat fiber every day for the colony to thrive--fruit once in awhile will get you a dose of vitamins, which is good, but it will not keep the bacteria going. You are what you eat.
