How is bread terrible for you?
Comment on It's still a crust, mom
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI was curious and looked up the nutrition info - weirdly a lot healthier than I expected. No HFCS, the bread appears to be absolutely normal bread, the fillings are sugary but in small enough quantities to not be particularly egregious. Still not great for you in that bread is terrible for you and sugar enriched peanut butter is a moral sin, but really theyre no worse than just making a sandwich from components.

I think they mean American bread, which is just cake.

Maybe you mean white bread in America? We have good bread also. Plenty of rye breads and whole wheat, even if it’s sliced, but we also have like actual bakeries where you get get all sorts of fresh bread.
I feel like there’s a lot of mistaken assumptions that all the food in the US is garbage simply because some of the food in the US is garbage. You hear the same thing about beer. Like, yes, there are some terrible mass produced lagers and pilsners that taste absolutely disgusting, but we also have a thriving craft beer market with a huge variety of types and qualities.

It’s the same with American cheese. People think of Kraft Singles, yet they’re literally not legally allowed to call that “cheese.”
We have some really good cheeses here.

True, but also as an American only Aldi and special shops sell a decent whole wheat. I don’t want my whole wheat bread sweet dammit, I want some nice fibery bread for my unsweetened peanut butter because that’s an easy, cheap, and moderately healthy lunch I can make every night before work without thinking about it and it’s something I’m perfectly fine eating about 240ish days a year.

… Your cake must be incredibly depressing.

I was being hyperbolic. Bread is fine if high in carbs, and sugary peanut butter is gross but not a mortal sin.

Meanwhile Lunchables still have lead in them.

Hey now don’t be ungrateful, that lead is vital in protecting you against the cesium 137 contamination in your shrimps!
