okay, come here, have a very close look into the oven...

Best said in a German accent?

Oops, even blacker humour than yours - sorry!

Sugary bread - that must be because of how they're raised hey? As do you think it's like that in Europe so much? European bread doesn't taste sweet to me, unless of course you're intentionally choosing a brioche or something? And Europeon bread is great imho.

Sourdough bread is uber popular here. Even the supermarket chains do their own versions, and then there are the more independent and more expensive bakeries for special treats, that is, if you're not making it yourself. It's so much nicer, and more filling too - nothing worse that a sugary white loaf to make you get high, come down, and require more...

My Mum makes gorgeous sourdough. I used to, but the temperature fluctuates so much in my house I gave up. I may start again when we move into the new place. Currently, we're on such a tight budget that I get all our bread from the free food waste charity. It's day old, but who cares? And it's quite often good sourdough too, and if you're even luckier, sourdough from the independent bakers.

I do think it's important to back up your nutritional understanding with research/science. People are so gullible. And they dont realise that bodies are diverse as well, and what works for one, may not work for another.

I was raised vegetarian by a mother who taught herself nutrition because her family's health mattered. She made me care about it too. And it was all from scratch, unlike some of the fake 'deli' meats and sausages that are 'plant based' but basically flour and seasoning! Mind you, I had a really great 'plant based' 'salami' the other day from the charity that I really enjoyed!
