Horrible Publix Whole Wheat Mountain Bread January 2012 TV Ad

Publix grocery store promoting grain-based bread as healthy. This is a horrible message to promote to a public that is overwhelmingly obese, diabetic and dealing with a whole host of chronic diseases. Learn more about why wheat is not as good for you as you might think by reading WHEAT BELLY by Dr. William Davis:

Wheat has an impact that goes far beyond weight. There are health implications to consuming it. Read WHEAT BELLY by Dr.William Davis to find out what those things are.

I can generally tell, when I am in the grocery store, whether someone is obese or not, even without looking at them. All I have to do is look in their grocery cart. If their grocery cart is filled with a lot of grain based products, 9 out of 10 times they are overweight or obese

@alphacause It's a pretty tell-tale sign. And even if they're not obese on the outside, you can bet they are metabolically obese on the inside.

Dude, I'm making fun of it.

In Weird Al's spoof of MJ's Bad called Fat he's singing about the foods that make you fat along with Pie ala mode he brings up Ham on WHOLE WHEAT and Weird Al is a vegetarian/vegan.

They should just call bread what it really is a SUGARLOAF

[simonmarkholland]

@LCHFinCanada I agree, besides how can a diet that promotes almost every modern disease be seen as more sustainable?

[vesnavuynovich]

This is a pretty accurate commercial, because regular feeding of oversize, double portions of high-glycemic bread is probably what made that poor kid chubby.

Three headaches in the last four years of gluten free eating, down 25lbs, a sub-6 A1C, and NO HEART DISEASE!. Our modern wheat is anything but natural. It's been selected for yield over the centuries and now is genetically modified to yield even more. This is not the bread Jesus ate!

It's not the worst you can eat. It might lack whole grains though but other than that it's more healthy than loaf. Of course, if I want to loose weight starchs, beginning with sugar, are the first things to go, but I don't see any wrong for normal weight people to eat this.

@LCHFinCanada THanks for letting me know your daily carb intake. It's just too bad that people have bought into the anti-fat craze. I'll have to read the book you mention. I've given up trying to explain to people that 10,000 years ago we, as a humans, didn't eat carbs.

[LCHFinCanada]

@MushroomedAnymore I don't think there's any evidence whole grains are more sustainable than organic/free-range ranching. Factory farming is a terrible thing though, in my opinion, and may not be sustainable.

As for meat and fish making you fat - and starches making you lose fat - that indeed makes you a rarity. It's not the norm, especially with obese people

But as I mentioned earlier - we are ALL different.
