    do your grocery stores not all have bakeries in house, too?

    like, I get that Walmart and the like can price out local bakeries, and then sell you shit “fresh” bread instead once they’ve forced the local small businesses to close. but it’s better than the stuff that never moulds, yeah?

      Walmart baked in house bread is close to the never molds variety. It uses modern GMO wheat with added preservatives and shortcut chemicals to reduce prep time from days to hours. Not to mention added sugars. Defending it would be like defending Subways “fresh baked bread” which isn’t even legally allowed to be called bread in certain European countries. At one point they were caught putting the stuff in foam yoga mats in their bread.

      In my opinion, that “bread” is a very distant cousin of homemade sourdough spelt (or whatever locally sourced whole grains was available) traditional known as bread.
