So i just visited a friend working in a bakery...

Can't say for sure but I guess its pretty much the same everywhere. Its like "fuck people, we need to sell"

Go to see your doctor, maybe it's not in the pastry. Or you have becomed gluten intolerant so the more flour in there the more it burns.

Nothing against your friend, we all heard these stories (I would actually be more concerned about Bad Rats and mold in the bakery etc.), but unless he's a chemisist/dietologist I will keep shoving 2 rolls a day to my face.

I didn't hear anything bad about bakery stores, but generally yes, there is a lot of not so good food out there. not to mention how fucking bad the animals get treated .. :|

are you sure it not some problem with your stomach ? a lot of person react different with different foood

Living in Italy may have some disadvantages, but eating healty food is rooted in the culture here, so I'm not really concerned about it. You should try to find some trusted places where to buy your food, it will cost more maybe but it will be worth it in my opinion, after all we are what we eat.

Pretty much the same here. If you want better bread buy at small bakeries, their bread is more expensive, but the quality is better. Or make your own bread, but who has the time to do it every day.

It's kinda sad that there's so much bad quality stuff in the stores, it's not hard to make good quality bread, it doesn't even have to be ecological or anything like that.

Luckily enough we have the great privilege to have pure and chemical free products in the countryside of my country. Villagers dislike chemical add-ons (mostly) and thus they food quality is extremely high. Tomatoes do smell and taste like tomatoes, daily products have an extraordinary taste and the burgers we make from the farming animals do taste much better than McDonalds.

It is a fact that these products are 10-20% more expensive than Mosanto's products but at least they are healthy.

As for our bread, we export our grain as it is considered high quality and we import grain from Balkan countries as it is considered low quality. It doesn't make any sense, right? Sadly, it is the truth.

In Serbia 1kg of bread weighs 300 grams, so i'd say our government is doing a fine job keeping us in shape :)

don't complain, most people that are allergic to chocolate are not actually allergic to chocolate but to one (or more) type of insects that are in the chocolate

happens to me too. i had changed my bread to whole-grain bread and it stopped the heartburn. but it's more than double the price and weighs less. so i had to go back to the white bread. but if you can afford it, i highly recommend you to eat whole-grain bread.

Carnivores are murderers. You kill cute fluffy animals to feed yourselves.

Vegetarians are hypocrites. Plants are living beings too. Just because they don't have a face doesn't mean they don't feel pain.

Chemicals are the only humane source of food. Stop murdering those poor animals and vegetables and switch to a 100% chemical diet.

No, we bake our own bread - its very simple and takes very little time.

Supermarket bread is the worst, it feels and stretches like rubber or sole and it tastes like cardboard. Bakery bread is better, as long as you watch out the kind of bread you choose (in my small hometown anyway). Nothing beats home baked of course.

And a lot of non commercial places still use refined flour ie, garbage.

Unless you have scientific evidence to support your claims that the chemicals used in the baking process are causing you heartburn, there is no rational reason to believe it does. It's probably just a false correlation based on your own unfounded suspicion that the bread is causing your heartburn. It's more likely a reaction that your body is having, or your body's response to something else in your diet or lifestyle. Coincidence of occurrence is not sufficient reason to assume there is a correlation or causal relationship.

There is too much bullshit about eating all-natural and avoiding processed or non-GMO products. The scientific evidence does not support such claims and the fears are often the result of disinformation. In some circumstances, it is better to consume the natural or unprocessed product, but this depends on the product itself.

I don't eat bread (sliced bread is not bread)

I live in Germany and the organic food trend is getting stronger and stronger here. We are known to have very high bread standards anyways. Buying it in an organic shop makes eating bread an even bigger delight. I'm enjoying my bread very much here (and sure do we have the junk too, but it's easy to avoid).

I should try working in a bakery for a while here and see what they stuff in.

In my country, your friend would be hanging from a piano wire right now for doing that.

According to what I've heard, most bakeries put carcinogenic chemicals as preservatives. Meh, it sucks.
