My mah used to get this peanut butter it tastes like nothing and always stays super hard so you'd destroy the bread when you tried to spread it on...but she always said that it was good for me!

Basically breads of all kinds especially white breads have very little nutritional value, it's fattening, high in carbs and is basically just a "filler". Your whole wheat breads and multi grains at least have some nutritional value. Many people believe that wheat and wheat gluten have all sorts of adverse side effects and is linked to birth defects and autism, the list goes on. I could go on if I felt compelled, but I prefer just to say that I don't really adhere to any of the above theories religiously as we don't eat wheat simply because Amy is allergic to it and I've found that there are MANY alternatives to wheat that taste in many cases better, so I don't miss my daily bread ration 
We eat organic pasta made with rice, you can't tell the difference, it looks, tastes and smells the same.
A quick internet search could most likely yield a plethora of the disadvantages of wheat, take them for what you will. I definitely stay away from processed foods, i don't eat any high fructose corn syrup and I have found that organic foods have much better flavor then their counterparts. As I also mentioned, we still eat plenty of meat, but we only eat buffalo and steroid free meats, many of the meats are pumped full of various steroids and antibotics which as you can easily figure out, make their way into your system pretty quickly.

Briefly back to peanut butter: I have found that my local big chain grocery is carrying a brand of organic peanut butter. It consists of peanuts and salt and tastes great! No sugar, which is present in rather large amounts in all the big national brands.
