The whole-grain pasta is comparatively, what's the word for it?, grittier?! I do love soba noodles though - they are made of buckwheat, but I wouldn't put tomato sauce on them, they're better with asian food! I think it's okay to have pasta once in a while, even if it does contain refined wheat flour. Everything in moderation, right? Yeah and I will never get the mindset that would forsake a real meal for for a can of coke. These are the same people who "forget" to eat a meal. I just love food too much!

Maybe time to make my own? It still amazes me that some people count calories without thinking that maybe skipping lunch so they can drink a can of coke (and therefore have the same calorie intake) is unhealthy. > whole grains are just plain tastier than refined grains
