Does that include white rice as well?

I honestly didn't know the difference between brown and white rice
until I went to the "Seattle Cooks" show last month -- a guy at the
"S&W Foods" booth explained that white rice is just brown rice with
the husk removed. That seems overly refined to me. I made crock pot
Chicken & Rice on Sunday, and used a combination of brown and white
rice, just to try it out (had never eaten brown rice that I know of).
The family actually liked it better...
