You can get vegetable stock at health food stores. I don't know about mainstream stores.

As to why Steve wrote that post... it could be because they were discussing brown rice in another thread. It could be because he wanted to write something more practical in response to the heaviness of the polarization articles, or it could be because brown rice and Steve go hand in hand and he wanted to let you in on his little secret.

For the record, I dislike brown rice for the most part. So Steve gets to eat his tub of brown rice all week long without fear that I shall swoop in and devour it. And that may be why he likes it so much...
