Let's look at the facts....
America: Largest people in the world now, in both being overweight and obese. In face, the "average" male or female now has a body mass index that is in the overweight range. And the primary food we have out of all others? Wheat. Look at the ingredients of just about anything and in it is wheat, flour (Made from wheat), or other wheat-based products.
Mexico: Also really large once they hit middle age especially. And the primary food they eat? Things made with corn.
Asian countries: Smallest, thinnest people in the world as LONG AS they don't live in America. And what is a large part of their food supplement? Not wheat, not corn...but rice.
So, if you're looking for snacks or pasta or what-have-you, try out some rice pastas or just rice or some special crackers that are made out of rice. In the long run, your body can metabolize it better for fuel and, overall, it doesn't contribute to weight gain like wheat and corn do...UNLESS you sit there and eat tons and tons of it like Sumo wrestlers do. But anyway, I just thought it was interesting. Ever went down food aisles and saw HOW many American products are made with wheat? And we're now the most overweight and obese country on the planet. Trust me--there's a big correlation.
