Now companies are betting it will help them capture consumers who want white-bread taste with whole-grain health benefits.

"The American public certainly is not going to say, 'I love that brown, rich, grainy look to things and I'm going to embrace it,'" says P.J. Hamel, a spokeswoman at King Arthur Flour, which has sold white whole-wheat flour since 1992.

"They've been brought up on white bread and if you can get whole wheat to look like it, that's what it will take," she said.

Yep! People are eating White Bread! Screw the fact that New Orleans for all intents and purposes is gone. Baghdad=gone. The US economy=gone. Health Care in the US=gone. Seriously, who cares? Gimme a pb and honey on white bread, and a nice high fructose corn syrup this shit is really Coke? Coke, please.

1. Our local grocery doesn't even stock white bread.

We were also the first city in the US to ban trans fats in restaurants.

5. Only in Marin, as they say...

Like living on another planet.

I like that there are NO billboards allowed in Marin county.

Greetings from west Sonoma County!:hi:

7. Marin is an incredibly wealthy area as I recall.

[GregD]

9. Some areas wealthy and spendy, some a bit less, but I tell ya -

I miss all the killer restaurants and stuff there.

11. Not all of Marin is incredibly wealthy..

but I am in Tiburon/Belvedere, which is incredibly wealthy and incredibly Blue.

I may be the poorest guy in town, but I wouldn't live anywhere else.

8. I'm ex-Marin - lived in Gerstle Park for the past 20 years

Moved to Mt. Shasta last summer to ride things out away from masses of population. It's great up here.

A shout out, if I may

From just off the 101 here in south sonoma county.

I dislike white bread, never liked it. Will intentionally make a sandwich from rye crusts, yum.

And Hey! back to you, WG.

If you ever get to Tiburon, let me know.

6. Um - I love that brown rich grainy stuff. Prefer it to spongy white crap.

I know the point you're trying to make, but honestly, whole grain bread is so much better. This story is just a symptom of what's really wrong with this country.

10. my kids have eaten white bread like twice in their lives

when i had to buy it for a recipe. they are conditioned and use to crunchy bumpy brown bread. white is a whole different concept. i will say though, the last time i got it, .... last christmas, my oldest really liked it. my youngest said nothing and eats our grain bread all the time.

now i think about it. my oldest doesnt like sandwiches, bah hahahah i wonder if it is the bread. so funny. doesnt like toast either. tough shit. he is getting the healthy bread.

13. I was in a Marine brig on a bread-and- water diet 35 years ago

Ate only the crusts and blew their tiny minds.

They sent the Commander around to find out why.
