Beyond Meat Fights for Survival

The 70s/80s want their insult back. You can buy any quality you want in the US, when willing to pay for it.

But we still have to listen to complaints that the only choices available are Wonder, Lipton, and Budweiser. Not true—literally for decades now.

I didn't say you can't buy quality bread though. I know it's possible to find nice bread.

I said it's mostly inferior, and it is. The vast majority of bread in America is stuff that I would rather go hungry than eat.

... Thanks for proving my point about getting weirdly defensive.

And thanks to whoever flagged my initial comment for proving it even more, lol.

If you don’t like styles of corporate bread, don’t buy them. But they work for those of limited means.

It's bread.

Decent, non-toxic bread ought to be available even to people of "limited means". Even, I would assert, to people of no means at all. The US is the wealthiest nation of all time, and there is no excuse for there to be so many people hungry, much less poisoned. It's so wild that this needs to be said.

And, products that toxic shouldn't be sold at all; at least not without large warning labels in multiple languages.
