Bread, tortillas, pasta, etc?
I do not. Every so often I'll try and eat a whole wheat pizza crust or tortilla and they are always gross. I know they are healthier and I wish they tasted better because then I'd actually eat them.
I used to be upset when I was little and my mum bought white bread at my brother's request. I've always preferred whole wheat breads & pastas. But obviously not for cakes, donuts and stuff like that.
Yes to all the whole wheat shebang. However, I taste no difference in reduced fat peanut butter, or other lower fat alternatives. My H finds this unbelievable, lol.

FWIW, I don't eat white bread. Usually it's oatnut because I don't care for the seeds in the 50 grain breads. I have to say I'm surprised to see so many wheat lovers.
When I eat wheat products, they're always whole wheat. I don't indulge in them that often though. The switch to WW pasta was kind of hard, but now it just tastes normal to me.

It's all I've eaten for so long that I do now.
White rice tastes like nothing to me. I don't like cookies w/ white flour.
White pasta still tastes good as does white bread.
You get used to the nuttiness though. And you learn which brands taste the best.

I prefer it now. I used to be all white everything, but then at one point I consciously switched to whole wheat bread in an effort to be healthier, and after just a short time of that, I couldn't go back because white just tasted so bland.
No. I'll eat whole wheat pasta and "artisan" breads, but whole wheat sandwich bread or pizza crust? Newp. I buy "whole grain white" bread and pretend that helps. Lol
I have tried whole wheat tortillas and I really dislike them. The flavor is just so different than what I'm used to.
Everything else, though, I get whole wheat, or whole wheat-ish. I don't get REAL whole wheat bread, I get Sara Lee whole grain white. I like whole grain pasta, rice, etc.
I don't like whole wheat pasta, but I did buy some whole wheat flour to make dog snacks. I was making pizza crust and ran out of white flour, didn't feel like opening a new bag, and just used the wheat to finish it off. That was good.
