Do you prefer whole wheat or white bread?

[nolabels]

I've preferred whole wheat bread ever since I was very young, and find white bread to be quite tasteless.
It seems that most people I talk to prefer white bread, but are unable to give a reason why. They just say they like white bread better.
I wonder if it's because they were raised on white bread and never thought to question it.
It almost seems as if their world would be shattered if they were to entertain the thought of eating whole wheat bread. No offense to those who may feel that way. Many seemingly inconsequential subjects can have deep-seated origins, in my opinion.
Why wouldn't anyone prefer a more flavorful bread?

Whole wheat, spelt and rye mixed bread is my favorite.
White bread is made of wheat that doesn't contain outer shell of wheat grain. The shell contains lot of proteins but is less easily digestible and human body needs more energy to get its carbs. That's why white bread was earlier considered as high quality bread. Today it's another way around because people don't want become fat and bread sorts which were considered as 'poor people's food' cost lot more than white bread.

wholemeal. besides cheap white flour is bleached to make it so white without the cost of further refining so either way, its far from healthy

I prefer rye or whole wheat bread. Like you I find white bread tasteless.

Rye is great, too!
You made me think of pumpernickel, also. Another one of my favorites.

Used to have that when I would visit my mother. She loved that pumpernickel bread.

Whole wheat

I like both, but really like a true whole wheat bread that you can actually taste the grains in. I'm guessing that like you said, white bread is popular because a lot of people were raised on it. I have a friend who hates anything but white bread as well, but he's also the pickiest eater I've ever met.

I am also in the minority who usually prefers whole grain pasta over regular (though I absolutely love both). I find it more filling, like the texture and flavor, and also like that it is slightly healthier than regular.

It depends whole wheat mostly unless im at a restaurant I find whole wheat is mostly much drier.
