    Bread made feeding people cheap. That isn’t civilization; that’s dominator culture. It’s slavery with extra steps. You’ve all been eating peasant food. Break the cycle.

      Bread made feeding people cheap.

      Bread is a luxury, if feeding people cheap was the only concern, porridge would be a better use of grains than bread. Porridge predominated when peasant culture predominated; bread becomes common with civilization’s connections, innovations, and specialization.

        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.
