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.

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?"

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

They also resent anti-runon-sentence propaganda

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 hours ago

Reading "anti crab" propaganda made me think extra.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 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.

Simple: I'm a carb based life form.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour 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:

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 14 hours ago

God gave us grain but not bread so that we, too, could indulge in the joy of creation.

Carbs aren’t evil but if you don’t want to be overweight you have to eat carbs in moderation. It’s not that hard gang.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Isn't Low Carb debunked? As long as you eat halfway clean and at a deficit, you lose weight. And you don't gain weight by eating a lot of carbs, as long as you don't have a caloric surplus.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Weight loss is literally calories in vs calories out. That’s it. Carbs generally have way more calories than foods without carbs. Low carb definitely works for weight loss, so I don’t know if I’d call that debunked.

It’s really simple. But these fad diet cultures we get sucked into have made us all crazy it feels like.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

and at a deficit, you

Well that's the thing, carbs are just very calorie dense so eating cards makes it harder to eat at a deficit.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Actually fat makes you fat and carbs make you crab

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

The incessant lurch of time makes us crab and there's nothing we can do about it

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

Exactly. Might as well indulge in feasting on Jesus's body.

That sounds like something a carapaced bottom-dwelling aquatic scavenger would say...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

No, carapaced bottom-dwelling aquatic scavenger was my father.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

You got it all wrong, you just have to work out a lot and then eat all the carbs you want

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago

I see extreme anti-carb mentality like teetotalling when the health goal is really just don't be a drunkard.
