**Moron. You seem to neglect several obvious facts:

1) On average every American consumes around 10kg of rice each year.
2) Rice is a basic food for a large number of livestock in the US 
(including pet foods).
3) Various areas of the US produce very large quantities of rice for 
local consumption and export. Rice growers will suffer.

Whichever way you slice it, the costs to the US will be significant.
