Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 14 hours agoI was with you, up until baked goods. What’s wrong with baked goods? A nice loaf of bread freshly baked from a bakery? Or maybe a baked potato with cheese and bacon? Or maybe a big bag of pot…wait, sorry. Wrong kind of baked.

I think baked goods as a treat would be cakes or cookies.
Also from what I hear in USA bread is generally of very poor quality.

Most of us have plenty really good bread options, it’s just many people choose poorly

Mass produced, store bought bread is trash, but you can also find some of the nest quality bread you’ll ever taste if you go to specialty bakers insteadof supermarkets. I live in Wyoming and I can buy breads made with heirloom grains that are actually highly nutritious. The same applies to cookies, etc.

I was in California in the 80’s, and the store bought bread tasted very well back then IMO.
I bought some at a local shop, and used as part of my breakfast I made myself in my hotel room to save money. 😋

Good bread is available here but people are cheap and lazy so they don’t go looking for it.

Funny, some of the best bread here is also some of the cheapest.
As a Dane I eat a lot of rye-bread, and Schwarzbrot is the best IMO.
It is also cheap, because it is very simple to make. And being simple to make, makes it high quality because there aren’t a lot of additives.
But AFAIK the cheap bread in USA is simply illegal in EU, because it uses additives that aren’t allowed here.
Anyways, yes of course you can get quality, but bread should not be expensive just because it is of proper quality, the ingredients used to make good bread are dirt cheap.
