Agriculture. There is nothing that fucking compares. This is why we are the dominant life form on the plane- no, the fucking solar system. 80% of the rice eaten in South Korea is grown in the United States. That shit right there? That's crazy. Fuck yeah, agriculture.

Are you sure?

I just looked into this because that sounds crazy.

As recent as 2004 the foreign importing of rice into South Korea constituted 4% of rice consumption. I read that in an article from BBC because the South Korean government was agreeing to slowly increase that number to 8%. It was only 4% because the government imposed quotas.

From what I quickly read it sounded like the South Korean government was freeing up the rice markets, but still imposing heavy tariffs.

>> No.3585012

Hmm.. Perhaps I am wrong. Our professor was talking about rice production and told us that the majority of rice eaten in Korea was grown in the southern US. I took his word for it. Sad if that's wrong, it was such a neat tid bit.

Our species has gone to the moon. We have left our cradle and peered into the infancy of the early observable universe; even now, the Cassini probe has passed Saturn, and given humanity the image I've just posted.

That there exists in this universe a small piece of itself capable of understanding some small smidgeon of its complexity is to be celebrated--of course, perhaps I'm rather biased as the ones doing the celebrating are also the celebrated.
