LIES and Disappointment...

This weekend we went to mobile to visit my friends (YAY) and in random passing conversation I hear something that BLEW MY MIND, I was a little outraged and dumbfounded as well. I know all of you are dying to know what was said...Prepare yourselves for the informative facts about a popular nation wide "sub shop"!!! THEIR WHEAT BREAD IS WORSE FOR YOU THAN THEIR WHITE BREAD...  AND TO TOP IT OFF, IT'S NOT EVEN WHEAT, IT'S WHITE BREAD DYED TO BE WHEAT!!!! WTF!!!!! I will give you a moment to soak that up.....


NOW, I decided to look this up...after all these years I  thought I was getting the healthier choice...I WAS WRONG!

WHEAT  vs. WHITE


Calories:  Wheat 210
               White 200

Calories from fat:  Wheat 20
                             White 20

Sodium: Wheat 310mg
              White 290mg

Carbs: Wheat 40g
            White 38g


::sigh:: I really don't what to do, my brain goes automatically to wheat when I think healthy. Maybe this is a lesson, things are not always as they seem, I guess I need to start reading more labels?! Although, I haven't found any evidence that they "dye the bread" as I heard this weekend but I have read that it's majority white with just a bit of wheat added in so they can call it "Wheat" bread... I feel like a small child who has been lied to.
