we demand new modern marvels with the same narrator. Along with the 3d graphics very informative.
There were huge rice paddies near where I grew up in California. We had a Japanese exchange student at one point when I was a kid. One day we passed some of these fields and there was an airplane flying back and forth just above the ground. The exchange student asked what the plane was doing and my dad said, "Planting rice." This completely blew her mind. She didn't even believe it, so we went to where the crop dusters were operating (my dad knew some of the pilots) and asked. She was just completely gob smacked.
"I like rice. Rice is good when you're hungry, and you want 2,000 of something." - Mitch Hedberg
It's insane that every single grain is evaluated by a machine. Talk about quality control.
As a teen the only thing I would eat for breakfast was rice. I made it with butter and salt. My mom was worried it wasn't healthy. My doctor told her "A billion people in Asia do this daily. At least she's eating something besides soda and chips." I've branched out as an adult, but I still love rice.

How has no one mentioned how incredible it is for that lady to be writing on rice? Super talented
Seeing the Uncle Ben logo is like seeing an old friend from the past. Rest in peace king.
I loved the detail of the narrator changing his pronunciation of "さけ" after Timkin's correction at 26:10. It gives me the impression of learning alongside the viewer instead of just lecturing.
