Rice is not eaten much around here, so it's not the default type of |
69 |
food. |
70 |
|
71 |
Besides, people buy what is being manufactured. If all boards were |
72 |
manufactured with 4 ports, it wouldn't stop ppl from buying them, and if |
73 |
no rice was grown, it wouldn't stop ppl from eating (if sufficient |
74 |
quantities of other types of food were available). |
