Bread is love, bread is life

I'm talking of modern day peasants, you know, the 99%. If it's a "luxury", then why pray tell is it served everywhere and dominates the ingredient list of most processed food? A loaf of bread is cheap, but meats, fruits, vegetables are through the roof.
It was a nice stop gap as things progressed, but now it's a handicap.

I used to make a lot of bread and things like pizza dough. I've even grown and ground my own wheat and other grains.
And then my partner developed and/or decided they have a gluten sensitivity. Yes I've tried making gluten-free whatever but it's not the same. I want my gluteny-goodness.
I will harbor this resentment forever.

Yeah but that factory white bread in the supermarket is literally the devil. How else can it stay good for so long?

Just make it. I don't buy bread and haven't in years. It's not saving me any money but flour, salt, and water are the only ingredients in most of my breads and they are as good as the fanciest bakery rustic sourdough. And easy as heck to make, sourdough is so forgiving.

Garlic toast! Yes that's usually on white bread here, I use a baguette to make it.

You sacrifice and sacrifice, cutting everything out of your habits or diet that may bring you pleasure, only for the sake of extending your life. Then at the end of it all, you look back in dismay, in the dismal realization that despite your years, you have never lived at all...

Yeah, maybe some day. It is one of the thing I keep telling myself I'll get around to.

No you have to mix the breads. For example, you take a slice of some random bread, put a piece of Lebanese flat bread on it and voilà.
And the Child does make the sandwiches. At least those ones. -

False dichotomy. I can eat all kinds of delicious foods, even having my health and eating my cake, and the best part is I don't have to perform any mental gymnastics to ignore any guilt or shame about the suffering my diet causes. There's something poetic about the best possible things for me, being the best possible things for all other beings out there. In reality, you just don't know what you're missing.

You're basically saying the same thing the other person who replied to my comment said, so see here. No sacrifice, and your characterization of longevity is an unfounded myth. The pursuit of health doesn't just expand years, it increases quality of life in the here and now. There's a word for it, "healthspan". Pursuing health and longevity leads to greater tasting food, because it involves cutting out all the hyperpalatable bombs of added sugar, fat, and salt that fry your taste buds so much that all you can taste is those kinds of foods. Do you even know what real food tastes like? I can have the pleasure of great food, the ecstasy of intense exercise, and the fulfillment of any other of life's worthwhile joys.

You sound incredibly pretentious.
I'm sorry, but I'm not talking about McDonalds. I'm not talking about engineered food products. I mean a good thick slab of fresh bread made from flour, salt, a bit of sugar, and not much else. Served with a big dash of butter. That is heaven.
The healthspan stuff? Completely irrelevant to my point. What is the point of a healthspan if you deny yourself all the pleasures of life? Enjoy all things in moderation. But I firmly reject this whole, "well...have a little wheat bread if you muuust...anything else is abusive."
"Do you even know what real food tastes like?"
Well you clearly know what your own farts smell like. Jesus Wept! Your head is so far up your ass you can see the contents of your own stomach.

So all you can do is resort to ad hominems? Grow up.

Switched for whole grain bread for that exact reason, I found out I'm pre-diabetic so my next step after paying attention to my diet will be taking up exercise.

Nice! You might like this channel, they specialize in lifestyle treatment of diabetes, and have a book on the subject as well.

Bread is best as a butter or cheese delivery vehicle.
No matter how you slice it, only the upper crust of bread society can cut it as a standalone food.

Factory white bread is just misunderstood. It's not meant for anything fancy, it's designed for PBnJ or a quick bologna sandwich. If you're putting more than a slice of cheese and ultra processed meat slurry on it, you're misusing it.

Any restrictive diet can lead to weight loss, because you're not allowed to eat the stuff you wanna eat, so you don't eat as much.
If there's nothing special about carbs (and I don't think there is...) that's what I'd call "debunked."

I like to go to the bakery down the street and buy a loaf, then just eat the whole thing while it's still fresh. I'm a scrawny little spitfuck.
