They are bugs. Your rice wasn't that well sealed. Seriously.

I've had rice (and oats, and flour) that I thought was airtight, but those buggers found a way in. Basically, we had to empty out our pantry, clean all the shelves thoroughly, inspect all the food, throw away anything that even looked buggish, and put EVERYTHING else is TIGHTLY (clicky clicky goes the seal) sealed containers. The bugs are gone.

The expense and work were worth it. (That our pantry is next to the kitchen door likely has something to do with how the problem started, but this isn't my house--I'm not the doofus who designed it. ) Anyway, you can toss the rice and buy new (cheap to do) or call it extra protein in the stew..

Nope........... Food with vermin.... not to be consumed by humans. However I would cook it and give them to the birds, racoons and possums that visit the left over tray in my backyard. No food should the thrown out if anyone or anything is hungry.My philosophy.

2 bugs hatch. My Hmong friends would shake the rice on a matt matt and the bugs would be blown away. Don't keep rice that long...enjoy it now.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
