A loaf should cost about £1.50, but they are selling it still at £1. Warbuton
So how are they making cheap bread?
Soya Flour? is that a bread ingredient? Greg Wallace went to warbuton's to show a loaf being made. He asked them what the soya flour was for? They said people like a nice white loaf - it made the bread whiter?
But they add it to all the bread? BROWN breads.. all the biscuits? Quavers and ice cream too?
Go to a family cook book. look up a bread recipe ? Soya is not mentioned.
One of the Edwardian food scandals was that they used FILLERS in bread.
Bread was adulterated with plaster of Paris, bean flour, chalk or alum. Alum is an aluminium-based compound, today used in detergent, but then it was used to make bread desirably whiter and heavier. Not only did such adulteration lead to problems of malnutrition, but alum produced bowel problems and constipation or chronic diarrhoea, which was often fatal for children.
History is repeating - we are idiots not to do something about it?
Soya flour was used as a powder to reinforce cardboard layers in box making.
Soya needs to be fermented for months to take away it's stomach grating properties.
The soya bean is an irritant - would you eat rhubarb leaves. It needs processing.

World food prices increased dramatically in 2007 and the first and second quarter of 2008, ... Between 2006 and 2008 average world prices for rice rose by 217%, wheat by 136%, corn by 125% and soybeans by 107%.

Can you find a loaf without Soy flour - It's a challenge. I went to an artisan bread maker. All his loafs had soya flour? WTF.

Spelt bread is made from ' old fsshioned ' flour.
All white/brown processed bread is full of sugar. |

'Bread' products shouldnt be consumed regularly either way.

You CAN still buy traditional bread, no soy, no sugar, you just have to pay a little more for it.
Here is an example. https://www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Crosta--Mollica-Farina-Pugliese-5-slices-Durum-Wheat-Bread/76194011?dnr=y |

Yes, 340 grams as opposed to 800 grams for a standard loaf. £5.88 kg versus £1.88 kg, about 3 times as much by weight.
The food processing industry produces what sells and what sells is cheap adulterated rubbish. It has to appeal to kids so tends to be full of sugar. To make it even cheaper, sugar (sucrose) has been replaced by cheap corn syrup (read the label on a pot of jam). Look at the shelf space given to natural yoghurt (healthy product) and that given to little pots of fruit flavoured, sugar laden yoghurt with gaudy labels. Even more shelf space is given to crisps, corn snacks and sweetened biscuits and bars. Is it any wonder we have an obesity epidemic? Many people would rather cut down on food expenditure than on other, shall we say, less essential items. You don't have to be one of them. |

ooo that corn syrup? it's got a bad rep.
Where are the reporters who ask questions? one site has 170 reasons as to why Soya Flour is toxic ? Kids love bread, growing up I'd eat half a loaf a day. The Edwardian food scandal said kids die first? The estrogen in the bread is huge. Giving boys moobs and girls hit puberty early. It's damages reproduction. It attacks the gut and intestines. let's wait another twenty years till it starts to kill people? slow poison. |

It doesn't look good. If people demanded good health bread and were prepared to pay for it, as they do in France and Italy, we would see an end to the rubbish most people eat today. I doubt it will happen.

Most people are oblivious to what's in their bread.
The soy/soya lobbyists are selling it as a health food? the used to say that smoking was healthy too. get a nice menthol one. |

Tesco sell a nice loaf of bread made with spelt, no soya flour, in their Finest range. It's still only about a quid.
|

I've just ventured to the pantry to have a look. It's called Tesco Finest Super Seeded Farmhouse.

That's a fancy name for a pantry.

Poker, sir, the one you mentioned is no longer available, it's been superseded.
|
|
By:
Very good, sir. :)
You almost had me there, I thought "it bloody is available, I only bought some yesterday." Most folks have trouble spelling supersede, tending to use a C instead of an S. |

By:
I've actually been thinking about trying spelt bread and thought it would be more expensive than that. Will check it out, cheers.

I'm all for eating healthily, but most people can't afford to pay £2 for five slices of bread.
