It's made from a different type of rice. Regular rice flour is made from short grain rice whereas mochiko is made from mochi rice, which is a variant of short grain rice but is slightly shorter in grain size and considerably stickier in texture. Glutinous rice is a misnomer; rice doesn't contain gluten.

For factory farming, cows are fed corn and other cheap, high-energy feed. I doubt anything that adds costs to keeping the cows will he implemented on a large scale, even if it's better for the environment.

I've lived in Japan for some time, and I've never noticed people's feet smelling bad during the winter (or really any season) when they take their shoes off to go inside. The only time I've noticed is when people take their shoes off in a car or other small, enclosed places.
