Did you ever get high from chewing rice?

Um, no. Also I really dislike brown rice. I DID try to follow a macrobiotic
diet very briefly ... I think I lasted 3 days. 

I do get high from eating bread though. I think I was on a 30-year high from that.

Chewing food a lot does great things with enzymes. Your saliva enzymes turn rice
into sugar. That is how they used to make saki .... women (supposedly virgins ... )
chewed the rice and spat it into a container to ferment.

However, I have enough texture issues that I can barely chew food at all. When
I was a kid I actually had nightmares about "rice texture" ... which makes it interesting
that I like it now. I still cannot eat pancakes ... the smell and look is great, but my
mouth can't handle the texture.
