Can you live on white rice only?

I don't believe that you can. I believe rice is considered an incomplete protein, so it does not have all the essential amino acids that you body requires. It is common that you see many dishes with rice and beans which I think would be a complete protein. Whether or not you could just live one rice and beans is another question.
