Does this woman realize she can still buy her bland enriched flour white bread if she wants? More to that matter, does she realize that the bread she thinks is some kind of tradition is itself a very modern invention in historical context?

I wonder what her review is about pumpernickel? What about potato, rye? Does she take offense at pita, cibatta, naan for being foreign? How childish!
She pines for Wonder Bread as if the stagflation of the 1970s which made 90% air bread-shaped sawdust a household staple was the height of the American experience .
She wrote the whole thing just so she could show off the archaic "o" in "fetid"
If she really wants to return to a time when that was the common spelling of fetid she’d be eating the rustic loaves she vilifies.
She’s the answer to the question that no one asked.
I don't have any interest in or fucks left to give about what MAGA morons think or post about. They're all purpose built sideshow acts in Trumps MAGA carnival of crassness, corruption and cruelty. They don't believe in anything except perpetuating the grift.
Recency bias has really n amok for decades now. My most recent diatribe is against the concept of Detroit being some kind of perpetual motor vehicle hub. It was a 30 year blip and nothing more, and has been untrue for longer than it was ever true at all. Post-war believes helped break this country.
The downward spiral of the MAGA hallucinations are certainly something to witness.
Just FYI.... I have been a bread baker for over 30 years. I have no idea what this weirdo is talking about. Don't eat shit and call it bread. That's insulting to any of us that have more complexity than hot dog water.
I am more of a tortilla guy
Looking forward to tamale season 🫔 www.arizonahighways.com/article/mira...
Does she know what RFK Jr thinks of it?
They still sell Wonderbread, don't they?
I'm more confused that she admits she can't slice, toast, or butter sourdough... Ma'am, I'm noshing homemade sourdough toast right now, and you're sullying my good name.
She belongs on one of those black and white "before" segments on the old cooking appliance infomercials, where the actors were always on the verge of a complete mental breakdown as they attempted graduate-level kitchen tasks like pouring coffee, draining pasta, or opening the freezer.
*flavour* gives her away.

To the second point, no. If adoption, inflection, paradigm shift, or event happened before their lifetime, it's like it never existed. Or, more cynically, they hope others think that so their rage grift continues. Lack of curiosity is a helluva drug.
Dang they are even demanding their bread be white??
Where the fuck is she buying gray sourdough loaves? Mordor?
I think she's talking about "white" flour sourdough that is unbleached. Unbleached == "grey".
I use only unbleached flour and I’ve never turned out a loaf of grey bread
Does she realize that at my grocery store they have 600 square feet of the exact bread she describes for 99 cents a loaf? She's just telling on herself, nothing more.
What kind of a psycho goes after sour dough bread? It’s wonderful. Woke bread hahahahaha.
Fuck these women and all these people, who manufacture outrage, I have PLENTY for them to do, to fill their time. Starting with come clean my house!
Also, sourdough is real bread. She's talking about fucking cake.
But…white bread is a no no under MAHA cult…but whole wheat is woke…and sourdough is usually white…HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RECONCILE THIS BELIEF SYSTEM????
From her language and spelling, she is British. Just FYI.
The "old fashioned" soft white bread is right next to the "fancy" bread in literally every Walmart in America and Canada.
I think she is in the UK. Sadiq Khan banned all non-sourdough bread here.
No he didn't LOL. www.google.com/search?clien...
No seriously. I saw him in ASDA last week throwing all the sliced white loaves down off the shelves and stamping on them.
I feel her pain about bakeries being filled with nothing but sourdough though. Don't care if the other stuff is modern. I too am sick of sourdough.
White America is a very sick, very spoiled, very ugly society. You would NEVER hear any minority talking like that. My parents were thankful as kids to have food—period. And my grandmother used to take whatever remained to even poorer families on her street.
white bread in the supermarket is a whole lot cheaper than whatever she thinks she's talking about...so yeah..if you want that, buy that...save a buck...it's a free country...
Well, sure, because if you’re making your own bread at home, the corporations won’t make as much money.
Dear lord, the whining… Someone give her some sourdough starter.
WHITE bread is ultra processed, horrible for your gut, no nutritional value, and overall useless for human consumption...yet people buy/eat in tons every month. We care about the pills or shots that go into our bodies yet we spoon shovel in processed SHIT every day...
That is called cheap bread. Why doesn’t she just buy the cheap stuff. LMAO
She could also buy a lidded Pullman loaf pan and learn to make her own bread if she's really that upset about it...
Pretzel Bread is the wokest that's why I just bought some.
Alex Phillips is as dumb as a sack of bricks, it’s not worth your or anyone else time to dwell on her mad ramblings
She is not a realizer, she is a low-level propagandizer, hoping for a future role in Miller's Ministry of Propaganda.
Another option is she could lay down on the freeway during rush hour traffic.
for FREE
MAGA wants their bread to look like the American demographics they are pursuing: Wonder Bread White
Leavened bread-perhaps 5K years. Maybe more. American white bread? Maybe 70 years.
Getting this vibe she could stand for a bit more fiber in her life. Those who love her should stage an intervention and discuss whole grain.
I dont even know who this bread bitch is. Or why anyone cares what this bread bitch thinks. What's next, weirdos opining that they preferred soup from a can?
they will complain about the woke Manhattan chowder because it’s too ethnic/less white than New England style
Yes you can still buy it, and it’s made by Waronwokeburtons!
I’m no scholar on bread but I am aware that the modern enriched white loaf is a solidly 20th century invention, and most people ate whole grain darker loafs until the mid-20th century.
My mother never ate a piece of Wonder Bread until 1962!
Some time ago we went for breakfast at a chain restaurant and were given a loaf of wonder bread as a promotion. Not something we would ever normally buy. Left it on the counter and it stayed fresh for weeks. We poked it every Am looked for mould. Scientific marvel we thought. Never ate it.
Favorite fun fact: the fax machine was invented before sliced bread.
Actually, sliced white bread is also woke. It became popular bc, as more women went to work, they didn't have as much time for cooking/ baking. It's a modern convenience for working folks. Separately- I wonder if Kennedy will talk about how unhealthy white bread is?
Betty White was born before Sliced Bread was available
Egyptians made white bread for the Aristocrats and continued to be a sign of class as it is labor intensive to sift wheat But soft American sliced white bread, 20 century en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_b....
The world is supposed to conform to her vibes as a white person. How dare you suggest her preferences aren’t the timeless preferences of white hood everywhere, for all of time.
You’re correct about it being a recent invention, tied to industrialized food production, which had lots of benefits — shelf stability, nutritional enrichment, etc. But Wonder bread was also inextricably linked with racism, which 99% Invisible has a great piece on.
So what you are saying is that it's white bread that's woke.
This lady is mentally ill for making this post. I think social media is what made her mentally ill. That's not a post a grown adult with a healthy mind would make.
That description of sourdough doesn’t match actual sourdough bread. But, hey, ya got choices. Make them.
Those look great. Excellent interior!
Sourdough is legitimately what the default bread was thousands of years ago
For pretty much all but a sliver of human history! Also the bread the person likes is readily available always!
I’m going to go out on a limb and assume the first leavened breads humans made were sour doughs.
also I'm pretty sure there aren't any special rulings where 'everyone has to eat sourdough now' so maybe she needs to shop around
There’s probably some argument to be made that white bread is one of the worst introductions into the human diet.
But its my preferred for French Toast, Toads-in-Holes etc, IMO. Absorbs the egg mixture the best.
Oh white bread is the best no argument about that
I think it's in good company, honestly. A lot of the things conservatives think of "traditional" are - in fact - modern inventions. And it turns out, much of the newfangled "woke" shit they hate so much has actually been around for a long as recorded history.
The Chorleywood Bread Process which she seems to prefer was created in 1961, to the UK's panificatory shame! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorleywood_bread_process
Yes and no, modern white Wonderbread is modern but white bread really took hold for the upper classes in the 18th and 19th century due to (reasonable) panics around adulterated flour. It was easy to see additives like pebbles, bones and sawdust which were easy to hide in wheat breads of the time.
I had heard that white bread was first introduced and marketed as a healthy alternative to darker breads, the thought being that it would be harder to hide contaminants in a white loaf.
What kind of person has such a lonely life that she feels the need to tweet out her disgust with any bread that is not white?
Actually, the modern loaf is a little older than you're thinking. It was actually a pretty controversial issue in industrializing England. "White" flour lasts longer and thus poor workers were more likely to buy that bread, despite efforts to push them into buying whole grain bread.
OP Is still absolutely nuts though
Right but weren’t those loafs also hideously adulterated?
Yea I was a little nit picky there, just love bread. They still wouldn't be a soft loaf like this or anything and could be filled with all sorts of fillers(kind of like milk at the time)
There are actual scholars of bread, if you want to read about it. For example (from my TBR list)...
I know! I love learning the history of food. Like that the ciabatta is a modern invention because Italy wanted to compete with the baguette.
A lot more people also just baked their own.
Honestly I never got the appeal. Whole grain, rye, etc just taste so much better than white bread.
No, she doesn't realize.
Oh good more for me then heavenglutenfree.com
I thought trad wives people were like all about making it at home
It’s funny because a nice white sandwich loaf is about the easiest bread to make at home, if my childhood experience of my parents buying a bread machine is any guide. It was almost set and forget and made a pretty decent loaf.
Once you figure out bread machine quirks it’s fine
