So, when I need it, I only need enough for one or two meals. In reality, white rice takes quite a bit longer than 15 minutes to prepare. More like 30 minutes, since the water and rice have to come to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes, covered. Then, it has to cool down before it's OK for the dog to eat. If I make a larger batch, most of it gets wasted, and I'd have to warm it up before feeding it to the dog, anyhow.
I do know how to cook rice. I just don't choose to take that time for an occasional rice meal for my dog with the runs.
I must confess that I don't understand what you're scolding me about, really. The question isn't the rice, it's the options. I have more options at the supermarket than I do at Whole Foods. I like having options when I shop. So, I shop where I find the most options. Today's supermarkets offer everything that's available at Whole Foods, and hundreds upon hundreds of choices of things not offered at Whole Foods. I can find no good reason to shop at Whole Foods, to be quite frank. There's one just five minutes away from my house, but there are also several supermarkets the same distance away.
