My kids love it. You can buy it in bulk at Costco and BJs so I'm happy! As far as kids eating vegetables. My kids are expected to eat them and all four like most vegies. (We don't serve brussel sprouts in our house!) If they 1. Have them at every meal and 2. Are expected to eat their food then you don't have an 18 year fight on your hands. My ex-mother-in-law used to put something in front of her kids and say, "You may not like it but please try one bite." Ack!

I must admit...I remain unconvinced and skeptical of vitamin supplements and especially vitamin fortified foods...but I do think "insurance policy" is good way to look at it...and there is something to be said for the lower nutritional level of a lot of the fruits and veggies on the shelf at the store. but yeah, I'm with ya.

Personal trainer though he may be, it doesn't seem that's he's much of an expert with small bowel absorption or cell uptake of vitamins and minerals. (That being said, he's in all likelihood right, supplemental vitamins and supplemental calcium are good insurance policy, especially if you're a post-menopausal woman or 65 year old man--but it can be an expensive one too...especially for a young healthy individual with no need to supplement). It is a billion dollar industry though, and who doesn't like a little bit of expensive urine? I’m disappointed in bob’s cop-out answer to the vitamin question.

I wouldn't eat other brands. I eat Barilla all my life and I was glad to discover that was in America when I move here from Italy. Grazie Sabrina Yes Barilla is a brand very use in Italy and the other is DeCecco….even is more so expensive in America.

I was just reading the post thinking, ohhh I better comment on how much I love Barilla Pasta.... Thanks for doing it for me! Even their whole wheat is better than other brands in my opinion. Seriously, it's the best and not as expensive as De Cecco(another really good brand). Another thing that I love about Barilla is their Piccolini line of smaller shaped pastas. My kids LOVE them. Perfect for little hands. FUNNY! I was just reading the post thinking, ohhh I better comment on how much I love Barilla Pasta…. Thanks for doing it for me!

I made the change due to having type II diabetes and the rest of the family has hardly noticed! It also allows me to eat my favorite foods again without a significant blood sugar spike! Yummy!
