kjbkjb58, I bet it bothers you that bread is mostly white too. My word, please try and see past the race issue especially when it is NOT an issue.

Player lilith666, Some grocery stores have bread slicing machines you can operate your self to slice bread such as French bread that doesn’t come already sliced. Love it!

We would make our own bread sometimes and it certainly taste much better than commercial but it is a pain to slice

kjbkjb58, And what difference does that make? I don't care who invented it, I'm just glad they did.

Montana Lady, I still am in awe of how they ma#e those pyramids without modern advantages. Pretty smart to come up with how to do it but was a whole lot of back breaking work for the ones who had to do it.

Jethrine321, that is such a good point I mean in America now we're having to take down important historical figure statues yet with white bread it should never have a different name. if you don't want to eat white bread well then there's rye and then oats potato and endless now with all different types of flours available.

Pittsburgh/Florida G, most astute and illuminating observation. Too much carbohydrate consumption in U.S.
