Stripes: A Ten Year War Against Me 2
In "The Rice Experiment" demonstrated by Dr. Massey Emoto, three jars are filled with cooked rice and labeled either Good, Bad, or Ignore. Each day Emoto would speak positively to the jar labeled 'Good', negatively to the jar labeled 'Bad', and say nothing to the jar labeled 'Ignore'.
