[EDITED out rant] The journal isn't the place for battles. My apologies
Orph
Anyway, "Rice Warfare"
About the turn of the century, the 5th century that is, conventional wisdom was to shoot a piece of wood from a bow into your enemy. The problem was, the enemy had their own pieces of wood and hurled them into your body as well. In some cases with much more accuracy.
A solution had to be found. Thus the birth of using rice to kill ones enemies. It was common knowledge that rice was fattening as hell. The propaganda departments of the era decided to use their powers of persuasion to convince the enemy that rice was the next "IN" thing. Everyone who was anyone would, or should eat it by the handful.
The plot worked to well, both sides ate the stuff until neither side was fit to wage battle any longer.
By the middle of the second year after the 5th century, the idea of using food as a weapon was abandoned.
