text: whats so good about whole wheat pasta? i went to the store and was checking out the health labels and it   had the same cals as normal pasta, same fat , cholestorol, carbs....so why is it so good for you? well, other than the fact that its delicious....it has more fibre in it than the other junk.  fibre is a really important thing to have in your diet (keeps stuff moving through your digestive system and makes you feel full when eating) and most people don't get enough of it (because it gets taken out when food is processed from delicious whole wheat to crappy refined white stuff)
