Raised on Wonder and Rainbo breads, it took a while before I could eat whole wheat bread. I still prefer white bread (especially sourdough), but I know the benefits of whole wheat. My husband is only barely getting to where he’ll eat it, but he never buys it or asks for it at a restaurant.
I too was raised on white bread. But I adore really grainy breads – Poland was bread heaven!
Though I do think there is a place for both.
