Wheaties?

So, I've decided there are two type of people: White & Wheat. Mr. White is all about the gooey, fluffy, starchiness that makes up your white 'enriched' grain people while Mr. Wheat is all about the fibery, firm, textured whole wheat pasta people  (For this moment Mr. Multigrain is falling into line with no one and thus doesn't exist in a two sided argument). 
It doesn't seem to be a battle of who's healthier. No one disputes that 100% whole wheat is way better than overprocessed white enriched flour. It really comes down to a wheat tastes nasty dispute.
Here's a few things about wheat that make me choose it when I get the option:

  • Less starchy. I personally don't care for soggy pasta.
  • The grains! I love the taste of grain, a nice earthy taste.
  • More fiber!!! Oh the need for fiber, we americans fail there. Unless we use a substitute.
  • Lastly, more filling with less pasta! The slower digesting grains keep you filled longer
So for me, there is no dispute, no taste discrepancy, or failures to wheat pasta. I also feel the same about breads, rice (brown), and Oreos, the darker the better!
