You'll have to rip the bagel from my cold dead hands, CDC.

I'm surprised... yet not. During my last trip to America I noticed that flatbread such as the one used for rolls is much tastier than the yucky European kind, usually bland and tasteless to the point of almost being neutral. I guess this explains it.


Edit: And American bagels are like a calorie assplosion in my mouth compared to German ones. Holy fuck, those things are rich.

I don't have time to slice my own bread for sandwiches. Also, anytime I try to slice bread like that, it's either hard as a rock or collapses under pressure.

They don't say "it's the best thing since gourmet bread" for a reason.

What kind of knife do you have? A proper bread knife should slice through pretty much all bread in a second or two

Wouldn't the refined white flour in most breads be more of a health problem than the sodium?

Loaf it or leave it!

Whatever is in the cutting block. Don't got the money to spend on separate utensils when sliced bread works just fine. Also don't have the money for the gourmet breads given they tend to average $2/loaf more than their sliced counterparts.

Yes, of course. I really doubt the sodium levels are even causing anyone problems.

This week a meta-analysis of seven studies involving a total of 6,250 subjects in the American Journal of Hypertension found no strong evidence that cutting salt intake reduces the risk for heart attacks, strokes or death in people with normal or high blood pressure. In May European researchers publishing in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the less sodium that study subjects excreted in their urine—an excellent measure of prior consumption—the greater their risk was of dying from heart disease. These findings call into question the common wisdom that excess salt is bad for you, but the evidence linking salt to heart disease has always been tenuous.

People should just stop eating altogether.

Fix'd.

I don't even care anymore, everything is bad for you.

If it tastes decent, spit it out. What you don't know about being alive might kill you.

Nope, just the bad things are. Plenty of delicious, whole foods that are healthy for you, too.

Just because something becomes common knowledge doesn't mean it's necessarily true, in this case claiming that excess sodium intake leads to hypertension.

Oh, wow! So that's bread!?

Man, I wish we had bread in America

We do, try the Publix Grocery bakery, Kroger bakeries are shit. Or find a local bakery and see what they have.
I make my own bread from time to time. It's not hard if you have a nice stand mixer like Kitchen Aid or Sunbeam Heritage mixers. Takes about 30 minutes to mix it, a hour to rise, and another 40 minutes to bake it. The mixer does the kneading for you.
A good feeling is smelling the yeast from rising bread and then the smell of baking bread.

We haven't eaten store bought bread in months. We got a bread maker a couple months ago, and have been using that for a while to make all of our bread from scratch. We also only make wheat bread. It's much tastier and healthy for you than that shitty white bread stuff you buy in the store.

Just grab a bread maker. Funny enough Goodwill gets them in all the time, so you can buy one for like 5 bucks. If it doesn't work, go buy another one. Takes like 2 minutes at most to mix the stuff together and it has less cleanup than making it with a mixer and all that.
