Why? Rice is what you eat if you can't afford anything better. This parallels every other culture - the staple food will keep you alive, but if you have any money, you'll eat something better than that.
You know how "bread and water" is considered a terrible diet that only prisoners eat, and then only because they're not given a choice?
(And how modern prisoners get a much better diet?)
