    Bread is still one of those real old school basic foods, that comes with a decent somewhat similar old school basic price.

    I don’t care if it’s good or bad, i want to have some money left at the end of the month instead of having month left at the end of your money.

      There used to be punishments for bakers adulterating flour to make profits; medieval communities were so reliant on the bread that the Lords went out of their way to regulate bakeries and ensure high wages for bakers to prevent that from happening (i.e: Adding chalk).

    Whole grain bread is okay, depending on brand and quality (Ezekial bread is the only good kind I normally have acess to). Any kind that’s not whole grain (or good quality whole grain) contributes to diabetes risk. That is not love. That is hurt.

      I also eat cake, red meat, smoked meat, vegetables high in oxalates, various fried foods, and occasionally drink alcohol. Life should not be about eliminating every risky behavior, it should be about fulfillment and weighing risk against probability and payoff. We all die eventually and I want to eat tasty food before I get there.

    Bread is like the shady dealer standing just inside a dark alley who, when somebody passes by on the street, goes:

    “Hey you!”

    “Yes, you.”

    “Would you like a little something to make you feel good?”

    I’m confused about the single full stop. It shows they have knowledge of basic punctuation, but refuse to use it.

      What is there to be confused about? They can speak english correctly, but they simply refuse doing so due to a lack of respect for the language. Almost every professor at my uni is also like this: they have the skills to follow grammatical rules, but they don’t owe it to anyone to actually do it. This is normal.

          Huh, I thought you were joking, but I just checked on google translate, and apparently the correct way to pronounce “threw” really is the same as “through”. I always pronounced “threw” a bit more in the front of my mouth so it has a different sound. Crazy stuff.

    In 1900 the average French person was eating 900g of bread per day.

    I’m working on it to reach this level again.

      The vast majority of breads are adulterated to a point of being virtually fraudulent. At least in the US there is pretty much only two brands of bread that are actually good, and most people have access to only one, if any. Here’s a video that goes into detail about it:

      The darkest bread there is, is usually bread that is articifially dark. Here in the Netherlands we have bread colored as chocolate, that would actually be white but is made to look dark so people think it’s healthier.

    I like how in the menu the chef is like – and I’m paraphrasing of course – you assholes can’t have bread cuz you don’t deserve it.
