The best part about bread is how much worse it gets sugar wise when the bread gets "healthier". https://www.pepperidgefarm.com/product/whole-grain-100-whole-wheat-bread/ It would all be fine if we didn’t have sugar in literally everything we eat now. Well not that fine since bread it kinda shit anyways. But I would only use like 2 tea spoons of honey in a loaf of bread if I didn't hate cooking bread. American food produces suck. We don't even know how much it sucks because all of its sucks, so we have no frame of reference. | ||

Loaf is not any more bread than burger- or hotdog buns are. Eating it instead of a normal lunch is like saying "You know, instead of eating lunch today I'm just going to eat dessert instead". edit: Well according to Hollywood your breakfasts are already desserts anyways tho. Pancakes with syrup is NOT a healthy way to start the day guys..! (I imagine that must be an exaggeration tho, right...right!?) | ||

Also, yes, americans don't have bread. To me, if you can't spread cold butter onto it with a bit of force without the bread disintegrating, it is not bread. It may be toast. | ||

Fuck the sugar industry. Mind you, I'm in South Florida, Miami, and the beaches all over Florida are tainted now, and have been tainted since a couple of months ago. Rick Scott goes ahead to ruin another state. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/environment/article219331165.html Florida officials confirmed a rare red tide on the state’s Atlantic coast on Monday after beach goers complained about respiratory ailments along Palm Beach County beaches over the weekend. While not as high as amounts detected on the Gulf Coast, where a red tide that first appeared last fall has littered beaches with dead sea life, the medium levels were consistent with the symptoms beach goers described. “They picked up concentrations that are high enough,” said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration algae expert Richard Stumpf. “There’s obviously more data to be collected.” In a press release, Florida officials said they could not yet confirm the exact amounts. | ||

Kavanaugh was discussing how to refute the Ramirez allegations before she went public. Now I wonder why he'd plan a defense for a false accusation or how he knew it was coming... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/mutual-friend-ramirez-kavanaugh-anxious-come-forward-evidence-n915566 | ||

Spokesman for Grassley has already said they are not relevant and show no contradiction. I want to see the actual messages. Was he just asking about Ramirez in general and what she might say or did he specifically refer to the incident she accuses? If the latter it appears like a pretty blatant lie. Even if it's the former it should raise eyebrows about why he would even be afraid she would speak up if he hadn't done something to her in the past. Doing this in general feels dangerously close to witness tampering. Thankfully the person in question is a partner at Akin Gump so they should have the means and know how to get this info to the right people eventually. Here is what Kavanaugh testified under oath for those who have forgotten: Oh and apparently Kavanaugh got in a bar fight and threw ice at some dude back in the day. His buddy threw his drink and got arrested. Police questioned him and everything. We'll see what comes of that and this story over the next few days. | ||
