Awww... and I was about to place an order for that myself.
Thanks for the update. Did they give any word about future availability? It's not surprising that the demand would go up after the recent "arsenic scare." I wonder if that might die down after a while?
I've been getting non-organic long grain brown rice for around $.90/lb. Not too excited about paying twice that... or more.

But then, they have the best standards regarding arsenic but what about other chemicals, since they have been known to have lax pollution standards or at least I thought so. Does this include their food?
thanks ,
