Bakers knead bread to explore their souls.

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.

Actually fat makes you fat and carbs make you crab

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

This is incorrect.

Butter, jam, marmalade, honey, relish, mayonnaise, and mustard are what make life worth living.

Bread is like air: a medium that is difficult to enjoy on its own, but necessary so that we can have the truly good things.

Found the heretic

Give me a loaf of bread, and I will eat it and be happy. End of story.

Condiments are nice conditionally, but bread is always fantastic

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And freshly baked bread smells and tastes orgasmic

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

When you crack that loaf and steam comes out.

Adding anything at that moment would ruin the bread.

You can eat bread without butter, but good luck eating butter without bread

It's okay to be wrong

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

That's crazy. Bread is incredible. I'll happy sit and tear pieces off and eat them like an animal. I also like condiments, but plain bread is fantastic if it's good bread.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

You've never bitten into a fresh, still-warm loaf of homemade sourdough just a few minutes out of the oven, have you...

Truely good bread can be eaten completely alone and taste amazing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

There's a mom and pop shop here that makes sourdough rounds on the weekends.

There is always a line, they always sell out. It's one of those things where if you want one, you have to get there, and get in line an hour or so before they open. Otherwise you're SOL.

They are absolutely wonderful rounds. Just perfect.

From someone who eats almost no bread anymore:

It's the bread.

You're not going to sit and eat a spoonful of jelly like a fucking goblin, but you might eat a piece of plain bread and be happy about it. Especially if it's a perfectly cooked dinner roll.

Try fresh baked bread right out of the oven. I swear whenever my bread machine finishes, I get through the first third of the loaf within the first half hour and then take most of the week to finish the rest.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

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).

Reading "anti crab" propaganda made me think extra.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Factory white bread is just misunderstood. It's not meant for anything fancy, it's designed for PBnJ or a quick bologna sandwich. If you're putting more than a slice of cheese and ultra processed meat slurry on it, you're misusing 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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

And CHEESE !

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

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

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

Based and yeast-pilled

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Bread is best as a butter or cheese delivery vehicle.

No matter how you slice it, only the upper crust of bread society can cut it as a standalone food.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Simple: I'm a carb based life form.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

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