And this is it in a nutshell.

It's been known for many decades that whole-grains are good for you and
refined grains are not/MUCH less so. I'm just amazed that it has
taken this many years for whole-grains to finally get their due.

Whole grains have only been compared to refined white flour grains. It
have never been compared to real food like meats and whole food
produce. It is only slightly better than whilte flour making it a poor
food choice in general.

I view grains as a necessary evil. The earth's population has passed the
point at which it can live as it did during its evolution, eating "meats and
whole food produce." Without the technology and industrial push to improve
grain production and nutritional value, there would be mass starvation.

You actually have a valid point. But don't tell me that grains are the
panacea viv-a-vis human health, because they are a poor human food
choice. And there is no way to improve grains to where they will
prevent the human race from future starvation or malnourishment leading
to serious chronic disease, unless you find a way to create grain that
contains the essential vitamins, proteins and fats that are only
available from animal sourced foods.
