i don't get this old vs new wheat concept, most wheat breeding has been to increase disease resistance and shorten the stem length so it won't fall over.
cookie/cake flour is about 10% protein, bread wheat 15-18%, pasta a little higher.

i worked for a barley and wheat breeder, if anything they didn't want to modify the protein content in any way since like any food, people don't like changes. millers have to blend flour to get a standard protein content. farmers want to produce wheat with just the right protein content, too low or too high and they get paid less.

tell billions of people around the world to eat something else when there is nothing else?
