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.

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?"

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.

[–] Deway@lemmy.world 2 points 22 minutes 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.

[–] Fedegenerate@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 11 minutes ago

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.

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

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

They also resent anti-runon-sentence propaganda

[–] renzev@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Also any language where through and threw sound identical doesn’t deserve much respect.

[–] renzev@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Here’s a bunch of better examples (it’s a 1 minute video).

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

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 12 hours ago

Reading "anti crab" propaganda made me think extra.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 9 points 12 hours ago

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

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

[–] BullishUtensil@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Simple: I'm a carb based life form.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I only accept the darkest, blackest bread there is. I crave the fiber

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 hours ago

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:

[–] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 1 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

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.
