It's not reassuring at all when one checks food ingredients!
Add to that the pesticides and hormones, a recipe for disaster, yet that's what we're being fed.
Our mass-produced bread also contains preservatives - 99% of the population consumes that. I simply cannot eat it so buy sourdough from a small artisanal bakery, slice, and freeze it. We have markets that sell organic, pesticide-free as well as hormone-free produce, but there's not enough, and of course, it comes at a price. I would rather eat less and know I'm getting real food than overindulge!
We only have one body, and it needs good nourishment to keep it in tip-top shape.
A very good issue to tackle Eric!
