[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6 dollar bread is not obscene

It's obscene to think there's something wrong with eating healthily. [/quote]

What I wonder is why we need this "healthy" bread. Millions of Europeans buy fresh bread every morning. most of it white bread. I don't know what their internal health is, but most are not overweight, so it makes me wonder what is up with US factory bread. When I try to find a fresh loaf of bread, it is white of whole wheat at best, some sourdough. I am at loss as to 6 dollar bread, at least when it comes to weight related issues. How can a French people be generally weight ok, and they eat a lot of bread. I think there is a warped idea of what eating healthy really is. I think another difference that bread here contains sugar, yet in most of Europe it does not.[/quote]

They are not entirely unrelated, but one part of the issue is that Eating Healthy, Pure Food has become a consumer experience tied to the price tag and the social class that accompanies that price tag. Are the offerings healthy? Often, yes. But it's an Experience and Identity as much as it is science.

And when you go over to crunchy diet fads, anti-GMO, etc. it is all purity and status, and no science at all.
