Eat it of freeze it. No preservatives necessary. Do you think home
bakers throw half of their bread away?

we keep it in the freezer for quite a long time if needed,
but after we take it out of the freezer it gets sliced and
then kept in the fridge until it is gone. we usually toast
it or warm it up in the microwave, but it is ok even if not
warmed or toasted.

no preservatives or mold. it is usually gone within a
week or two anyways, but i think it keeps longer than that
as long as the bag it is in is clean enough. we'll reuse
bags too.

How else do you expect to provide bread to someone who can afford only
$0.79 per loaf? I'm genuinely interested in your plan.

Do you have a source for the assumption that a $2 bread would cost $5
if it wasn't for preservatives?

Nope. I pulled it right out of a dark place. But it seemed intuitively
obvious from an examination of how bread is stocked (especially in small
stores such as are found in urban food deserts and the gas station
down the road), and how the unsold bread makes it to the secondary
market. If bread only lasts three days, more waste will ensue, driving
up costs for distributors and sellers. More waste means more cost, and
they will pass that along to the customer.

It's also a matter of good planning. And bread that's a day over it's
date can be sold at a reduced price. If science project bread sells
well in a country, that country isn't quality bread oriented.
Australia isn't either. You need access to "wog" shops for good bread
here.

In some of the stores in Italy you only bought as much as you wanted,
they would cut if off a large loaf and sell it by the Kg.

Chinese bread? I thought orientals didn't eat much bread, but
gobbled up lots of rice instead.

You prefer to listen to the voices of irrational fears than succumb to blinding practicality.

It's not about fear.

French standard bread has to be eaten on the day. People buy fresh
bread every day there. Is it super expensive? Not at all. Everybody
can afford it.

50 years ago in northern NJ, rye and pumpernickel were sold that way, too.

Indeed it is not about fear. If you don't know why you are afraid of something, that makes it an irrational fear, which is not the same stuff as plain old regular fear.

My dad said he once rode on a plane seated next to a nun. She was scared to death of flying so he held her hand during the flight to reassure her the best he could. He got off the plane to catch a connecting flight and later found out that the plane he was on crashed. That experience with the nun and the plane has haunted him all these years.

I bought a couple of loaves of French bread a couple of days ago. It cost me 7 bucks for a batard and a baguette. That seems a bit excessive to me. I can understand why people will pray and say "give us this day, our daily bread." That stuff is too expensive to buy every day!

I can imagine. Poor nun.

I don't think you'd pay that much in France, but I haven't been there
for a long time.

A baguette costs 0.45 Euros (supermarket) to 0.90 Euros (bakery) in
France. A Euro is worth a bit more than a US Dollar.

It's not about what consumers do with the bread. It's about the
supply chain.

I always have 3 basic breads on hand...
- white
- rye
- Arnold Whole grains, 12 grain bread

Then occasionally:
- store bakery made Italian bread
- homemade raisin bread once every few years
(I like my own vs any commercial brand)
