It's not a matter of choice for those people... It's a matter of not being hungry due to poverty, and we all know that rice is the perfect poor person food. 
Besides, Indian people have one of the best type of breads on earth! Nahn (spelling?) bread for the win x 100! I can eat that stuff all day, every day.

You're an idiot.
There are LOTS of famished people in India who can't really afford to eat anything other then rice, same with Africa, and China too.
Rice gives you energy, it's cheap, and easy to make/buy and is the reason that people who don't have money to buy other foods eat rice.
Do you know anything about India? Do you have any idea how many people there live in shanties and can't afford to eat anything but rice? It's not just India, lots of nations in Africa depend on rice as their main source of food, as well as lots of inland China (as well as other countries too).
I'm referring to the people that can't afford to eat anything but rice, and that isn't by choice. It's because they can't afford anything else really. If they had a choice, trust me, they would not be eating plain rice every day. I know it's been part of their culture for thousands of years, but it's always been something that has been very cheap to produce and cheap to make which is why it has been in their culture for this long.
so please explain to me how that was asinine?

chinese, indian, spanish, italian, japanese, korean, mexican(if i missed any, i'm sorry)... there is a little rice in most of us, and some people that still consume rice that makes a good numbers of money. So I don't see what so cheap about rice.
the reason why bread cost more then rice is because of the process of make it. like what SomethingClassy said, "To make bread a person has to hull the seed, mill it into flour, mix it with water (and other ingredients), then bake it. The steps between harvest and consumption" You are paying for some person and machine that make your bread. rice can skip all the mixing and go straight into the rice cooker...30min and you will get fresh hot rice.
I mean I love all kinda of food; bread, rice, pasta, ramen, mash potato and so on... I won't and hate putting value on any of them, since I think it wrong to do so. We are blessed to be able to fill up our stomach.
if you plan out to do a compariation, I think using pasta vs rice will be better of. Compare their taste, what good to go with it...and so on. Saying rice is cheap and that the reason the poor eats it....that wrong...
just one more fact... in china, the poor...they won't have the money to buy rice, what they eat is call mantou...a type of bread.

hmmm... which one to pick...
i say rice for me since i'm so da asian. hahah..
not too much of a fan of pizza, sandwiches, and stuff.. i usually only eat that only if i had to. but i do like bread by itself nonetheless..
but definitely rice > bread for me.
