I am consternated at the proliferation of refined grains. Here are my USA observations:

  - Grocery store or Amazon etc: Whole grain breads and flours are in the  minority, but it's possible to get them

  - Restaurants and bakeries: Impossible to find whole grains; 100% refined

IMO it's a no-brainer to eat the healthier stuff that has bran + endosperm intact instead of removing and attempting ton add back the micro-nutrients. (While still missing the fiber)
