setasors··on That ‘Fake Plastic Rice’ in Nigeria Was Actually Something Much More Depressing
Not sure how skeptical we should be.

First they said it was plastic rice, and then the company proved that it was actually plastic, but not for consumption but for for display only, like you see all over Asia.

Now, after that fake news was brought to light, they come up with another one saying it's actually contaminated?

"In psychology, the Stroop effect is a demonstration of interference in the reaction time of a task. When the name of a color (e.g., "blue", "green", or "red") is printed in a color that is not denoted by the name (e.g., the word "red" printed in blue ink instead of red ink), naming the color of the word takes longer and is more prone to errors than when the color of the ink matches the name of the color.

...

This is based on the idea that word processing is significantly faster than color processing."
