[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]
This is now totally OT, but American wheat strains are different than European ones and have a higher gluten content. We also have a lot of GMO "Round-up ready" wheat here that is not allowed in Europe. These factors may or may not matter to health outcomes, but they are facts.

I know many anecdotes and am aware of one study that found that incidence of self-reported "gluten sensitivity", even of the same people, is lower in Europe.[/quote]
