Skip the Soylent, Make a Meal Instead

Look at what is inside it and what it does to you and how it is manufactured. Look at a load of Wonder Bread. It used refined white flour with no bran or germ - the healthy parts. Why would they do this? Because it gives the bread a longer shelf life - what you consider a feature. You've sacrificed any bit of nutrition so it keeps on the shelf longer.

Sugar is in it. Sugar. In bread. As if the white flour starch isn't bad enough for you as it turns into sugar but then actual sugar is added. No wonder diabetes is such a problem.

Where's the fiber? Well, that's added later and in measly amounts so it can actually be called "bread".

There is hardly any nutrition in this bread. And you admitted you didn't even know that. It was designed to be profitable - not in any way be nutritious.

"Make it better" - for who? The 4 years olds with diabetes?

You know that if you look for a bread recipe on-line, you'll find sugar as one of the ingredients? It's kind of used to make a normal bread.

I know "bread" is a broad term and some people swear by the dark "tastes like dried grain with glue" varieties. But others don't. Personally, I prefer "ISO standard" white bread. Not all food choices are made to optimize for perceived health value. Some are also made for taste.

You are either a sadly ignorant person or a troll. Possibly both.
