My understanding is that this is related to whether it's American grown in fields previously used for cotton and other non-food crops due to pesticides.. foreign rice should be ok?

at least it's going to be foreign pesticides

Not a good thing either haha.. as an American, I don't think our farmers are purposely poisoning the rice, but may not understand the pesticides in the soil from decades ago can still fuck people up now.
