    Blegh, conflating way too many disparate elements and mystifying wholesome past bread as magical

    Actually, making more shelf stable foods is good. Genetic modifications that produce robust and efficient crops are good. Fucking wonderbread and the like springing from capitalist ‘efficiency’ are problematic but that doesn’t mean all the machines and techniques involved in getting there are evil.

    also “your great grandfather’s gut” yeah my great grandfathers gut had fucking sawdust in it and was getting diseased from unenriched flours, talking about enriched flour as if its some devious plot and not a lifesaving correction from industrial methods that massively increased production at the expense of nutrition is ass-backwards.
