I just finished reading the "nutrition" article in TIME magazine.

It is a pretty good article. I saw the article on the cnn.com website
(under "Time Magazine") and went out and bought the issue.

They've convinced me;
Reduce sugars, rice, processed flours etc,
and eat more "Whole Grains".

They even gave a hint; "Barley is a whole grain"

But when I go to my grocers, what should I be looking for ?
I don't just want to buy a bag of whole-wheat flour.

Is Grits a whole grain ?
Interesting question. The answer is no, as I found out he

Raisin Bran?
Well, it contains "bran" which technically isn't a whole grain but
practically-speaking it is the part of the grain that "whole grain" is
supposed to keep. So, that works as a "whole grain" for your
purposes.

Oat meal ?
Yes.

( these all sound like breakfast foods )

brown rice too :

Any help here on which prepared foods are "whole grain" ?

Look for packages that say "whole wheat" or "whole grain _____".
Here are a couple of guides:
