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

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.

We should stage a conquest of bread.

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.

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...

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.

I recently saw an infographic that showed the risk of death for getting out of bed at 90 years old is the same as the risk of hang gliding. To me, this means you should take up hang gliding when you're 90.

More seriously, you should take risks to have a full and rewarding life. Those risks can be mitigated. I've ridden motorcycles, but I also wear a helmet and safety gear while doing it.

For thousands of years the peak of life has been eating fresh bread and drinking wine, it still is tbh. For maximum luxery add fresh cooked meat to the bread :3

And CHEESE !

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?"

* Opens long coat, showing a collection of cheeses, butter, peanut butter, jams, ham and other cold meats, and other delicious things that aren't all that healthy *

"Oh I really shouldn't, I ..."
"Come on dude, this one's partly mouldy."
"I TAKE FOUR! I MEAN FIVE!"

Bread is my favourite carb, and it isn't close. I had a period in my teens of sandwiching everything. Chili? Sandwich. Curry? Sammich. Stews? You guessed it: big mess.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm in my mid/late thirties and I still put almost everything in bread. My 4 years old sometimes make bread sandwiches (one type of bread in another type of bread). I'm not there, yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Alright, a bread sandwich is interesting. Now I love me some bread, but doesn't the distinction between loaf 1 and loaf 2 get lost in all the breadyness? If they want a hybrid loaf they probably make those. I suppose at 4 they're not making themselves, but the bread maker... you... might.

I thought I loved bread, perhaps I merely enjoy it.

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.

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

They also resent anti-runon-sentence propaganda

Did.. Did they just make a "pee is stored in the balls" reference?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago

Reading "anti crab" propaganda made me think extra.
