. . . well at least according to the good folks at General Mills. They have a simple yet educational test on their website EatBetterAmerica.com that will help you understand whole grains and explain the importance of whole grains to your family.
I find that it is a lot easier to meet the dietary guidelines of the USDA's My Pyramid if I understand the various components of what used to me known as the Food Pyramid. With all of the research going into nutrition now there is a surprising amount of mis-information amongst consumers. It's really no big surprise when you consider that most consumers recieve their nutritional information in the form of commercials between their favorite
television programs. Marketers can be very clever in how they label and package their products.
So take a moment like I did to check out whole grains and understand what makes General Mills' line of whole grain cereals so good. If you hurry you can also print free online coupons here for a savings at your grocery store worth $.75 off which when applied to the sales going on in many supermarkets add up to a great savings.
