It notes that enriched and whole grain breads provide important nutrients and that grain foods contribute nearly 40 percent of dietary fiber in the American diet. The resolution cites the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saying enriched grains helped reduce neural tube birth defects by nearly one-third. It lists many bread types (for example, loaves, naan, roti, baguettes, pita, tortillas), says bread is shelf-stable and affordable, and commends the American commercial baking industry. The resolution encourages Americans to celebrate bread diversity and pair breads with nutritious foods.
