**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.

Not really, even if necessary supplements are plentiful and cheap.

However, I think such a minor reduction probably wouldn't make any 
difference in virtually every case since by and large such nutrients exist 
at level above those strictly necessary for proper health.
