Here I just tell people to f*** off. LOL
I have to say that ultimately I don't think it's such a bad thing that the FDA, etc, are pushing whole grains... BECAUSE... keep in mind how the average American eats: McDonald's, convenience foods, frozen dinners, CRAP. People in general don't eat nearly enough in the way of fruits and vegetables (ask people you know if they consider french fries a "vegetable", and laugh when they say yes), and they probably COULD benefit from switching to whole grains.
What bugs me is when average people on the street hear these things and suddenly become The Authority On Nutrition and Diet (tm), and take it upon themselves to "correct" the eating habits of everyone they know. Aggravating!
I'm with bamagirl, anyway - no one food is a miracle. You need all of it, in moderation.
