If a remember correctly, wasn't there some discussion quite a while ago
about whether or not it is safe to give uncooked rice? I thought it was
mentioned that, because it is uncooked, it can begin to absorb water/liquid
once in their digestive system and begin to expand (as it does in cooking)
and cause an obstruction. Please correct me if I wrong.
