Brooke - I think it is ironic that you say Morgan's picture looks like me. That last picture of Jane that you posted looks like you. Usually, I think she looks more like Mike, but I saw that one and thought - "That is Brooke!" Anyway - she really is growing up and looking more and more like a young lady.

As for the bread...here are some basic bread facts for you. Everyone else...if you are not interested in bread facts, I would urge you to stop reading here to avoid boredom!

• Both white and wheat contain virtually the same amount of calories, fat, sodium, protein, and iron. Where they differ is usually in the fiber and calcium content...wheat having more fiber and white having more calcium. If you don't drink a lot of milk, white bread may be the way to go - but most Americans consume far less than the recommended amount of fiber, so it is always a good choice.
• Wheat bread naturally has more Vitamin B6, E, magnesium, folic acid, copper, and zinc. But white bread is usually fortified with these vitamins. Fortification is common and does not alter the nutritional value of the food - although this kind of supplementation may not be as readily absorbed as it is in it's natural state.
• The American Academy of Pediatrics does state that 'whole-wheat bread offers a nutritional advantage over white bread.' Remember that 'wheat' breads that do not say that they are 'whole wheat' are a mixture of enriched white flour and whole wheat flour, and so will likely have less fiber than whole wheat breads. 'Whole wheat' will be listed as the first ingredient if the bread is made from 100% whole wheat.

Nature's own could be adding more preservatives to make the bread softer - your best bet is to read the label. If it doesn't say "Whole wheat flour" as the first ingredient, then it is not whole wheat bread and doesn't have the benefits. I tried to look at Nature's Own website to see exactly what they did to the White-Wheat bread, but that information wasn't available.

Hope this helps...
