It's a seed, you know. We humans feed birds thousands of tons of bird
seed all over the world every day and the birds prosper. They're
*designed* to eat seeds.

I think the real reason not to throw rice at weddings is that it might
germinate if it falls on the ground.

Rice is a milled seed with the germ removed (except brown rice). It
can't germinate. But if it did (and millennia of throwing rice hasn't
seemed to blanket the globe with wild-growing rice plants), so what?
It's grass. Cut it while mowing the Kentucky Bluegrass and forget it.
Especially if the wedding is being held in a little, flooded swampy area.

Not to mention that the human race
needs no help being fertile (the traditional reason to throw rice).

So maybe throw birth control pills and condoms. Oh wait, the ducks
would die from eating little latex tubes...

Or maybe millions of worms would crawl into them and...

No. Wait. The pills would dissolve and get into the water supply and
sterilize us so aliens could take over and extract certain life-giving
juices from good looking people and their pets...

Many years ago, Johnny Carson, during his monologue on the Tonight Show,
quipped that people should throw puffed rice if the bride was pregnant.

And if the wedding takes place in Mayberry, throw corn...?

If it lands in the grass. If it lands in the garden it has to be pulled up
like every other unwanted plant (weed).
