> enough food to not starve for 4.43 seconds

I'm having real difficulty reading this unit of measurement. Let me see if I can get this right - a typical person can survive indefinitely on 1600 calories. Let's say that these are provided by rice (which isn't sufficient for a long-term diet, but is good enough for awhile). 1600 calories of rice is about 8 cups/24h and there are about 10000 grains in a cup, so is it that an image can be generated at the same cost as:

  4.43s/86400s*8cups*10000 grains/cup

Being about 4 grains of rice?

Sounds about right, but I don't have unit conversions and I'd count anything less than lifetime sustainable as gradual starvation.
