When I was about 6, my dad ate a lot of shredded wheat (you know, that big six inch block of it?). Anyway I thought he was eating hay, so I refused to try it. He said he ate it because it has a lot of fiber. So, for the longest time I thought fiber in food mean long stringy thread-like fibers. I could never figure out where they were in prunes though.
