Please explain. My gut feel intuition is that you have to sacrifice at least a typical American closet's worth of space to do that.

A 50 lb bag of rice would feed you for 50 days and you can fit about 8 of them in a grocery store cart.

So that would be like 1/4 of a US closet for one person? I know rice will get bugs if you don't eat it in a reasonable amount of time, so that would be a concern.
