Comment on It's still a crust, mom
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 day agoI was curious and looked up the nutrition info - weirdly a lot healthier than I expected. No HFCS, the bread appears to be absolutely normal bread, the fillings are sugary but in small enough quantities to not be particularly egregious. Still not great for you in that bread is terrible for you and sugar enriched peanut butter is a moral sin, but really theyre no worse than just making a sandwich from components.

How is bread terrible for you?

I think they mean American bread, which is just cake.

Maybe you mean white bread in America? We have good bread also. Plenty of rye breads and whole wheat, even if it’s sliced, but we also have like actual bakeries where you get get all sorts of fresh bread.
I feel like there’s a lot of mistaken assumptions that all the food in the US is garbage simply because some of the food in the US is garbage. You hear the same thing about beer. Like, yes, there are some terrible mass produced lagers and pilsners that taste absolutely disgusting, but we also have a thriving craft beer market with a huge variety of types and qualities.

It’s the same with American cheese. People think of Kraft Singles, yet they’re literally not legally allowed to call that “cheese.”
We have some really good cheeses here.

… Your cake must be incredibly depressing.

I was being hyperbolic. Bread is fine if high in carbs, and sugary peanut butter is gross but not a mortal sin.
