> Bread keeps for a week, no problem

A flour based food, full of preservatives will keep for a week. Bread does not :-)




The bread-like product I consume usually lasts for about a month.

It does not claim to have any preservatives, but is provided in a plastic bag with a twist tie.


No bread like product will last a month without some pretty serious preservatives that isn't frozen. And it'll probably be taste awful well before them.

I'd be taking a long hard look at whatever this product is, and honestly a lot of the other stuff you may eat.

Mass produced food companies are not your friend. They want cheap stuff ebay keeps people happy. Health and well being wouldn't even make the list.


I did before I posted. The only unusual ingredient was "soy lecithin".


If people want healthy food they can write it on the packaging.


Freshly baked bread lasts quite a while, certainly longer than a week. White wheat longer than whole grain ones, but even those will last without any additional preservatives.

Of course it doesn't taste as good as freshly baked bread, but if it gets moldy only after a few days, it was already old or you didn't store it well enough.


Gosh, you sure are so much better than us lowly Americans. How can you even stand to debase yourself enough to speak to us?


I don't think anyone excepts the average American diet is anything but trash.

Back in 2013 at least, the effort I had to go to in Houston to find bread without sugar, milk without sugar, and butter that was actually butter was insane. Let alone getting to eating out!


We use to think you were all so advanced and sophisticated, a few comments ago.


We not only have refined tastes, but are also noble and magnanimous *bows*


Americans will find any reason to be upset and play the victim card.

Our food is trash. Accept it. Move on. Quit being such a victim. You're making all of us look bad.
