It's like going to the doctor, and he tells you you should eat whole 
wheat bread instead of white bread. Of course, he's right. His reasoning 
is sound, and backed by solid scientific evidence. But you just like 
white bread better, and since the grocery stores are well stocked with 
white bread, it obviously sells well. Any baker wanting to sell bread 
should pay attention <g>.

But the stores also have a line of whole wheat, for those that are 
willing to eat what's good for them.
