The whole grain diet has become a dietary trend in the United States. the federal government recommends that Americans eat 1x2 whole grains every day, and requires public school students to have at least 1 whole grain staple food for brunch. Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare (formerly the Department of Health) issued daily dietary guidelines on July 6, 2011, which also recommended that Chinese staple foods should come from "whole grains". However, the concept of whole grain diet is still lacking in the nutritious lunches of our primary and secondary schools.
