The staple food of Americans is not rice. Rice is healthier but pasta n pizza are tastier but not healthy. Americans prefer taste more than health I guess.

We eat tons of rice at my house. Way more than pasta or pizza. My husband grew up in the Philippines, but I grew up in the US. But I still ate more rice than pasta or pizza before I knew him.
