A fact from Durum appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 1 May 2008.

North Dakota production figures for 2004 from USDA--Blainster 21:20, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Why does this article mention specifically where in America Durum wheat is made and provides no information for anywhere else in the world's production specifics of Durum wheat? It makes it seem to me like the article is aimed at an American audience. If no-one has any objections (or introduces any other information for other counties) I'm going to remove the sentence "U.S. durum production is primarily in North Dakota, which produced 59% of the US crop in 2004." in a week's time.

The 1988 American Dietetics Position Paper contradicts the notion of 'protein combining' in the same meal for a healthy diet as incorrect. I'm removing mention of it from this article. RandomTask 15:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

"Intakes of different types of protein that complement one another should be eaten
over the course of the day. However, since endogenous sources of amino acids are
also available, it is not necessary that complementation of amino acid profiles
be precise and at exactly the same meal, as the recently popular
'combined protein theory' suggested."
