Back in the 1950s it seemed white bread was the most frequently consumed bread. We ate it along with rye and occasionally pumpernickel. I don't remember seeing much whole wheat or other types of bread on grocery store shelves. When I was in high school I got into weightlifting and a friend with whom I worked out referred to white bread as "paste". That stuck with me and I asked my mother to buy some whole wheat bread, which she did.
Today I rarely eat bread and then only multigrain. When I first visited Germany several years ago I loved the bread they had at breakfast time. It was tasty, and dense and was "real food" IMHO.
