It seems that there’s always a Bad Thing that, if we can just avoid eating it, will magically make us healthy, wealthy, and wise. Sugar, fat, cholesteral, sodium: there only ever seems to be room for one at a time in the public memory. Watching Au Bon Pain whip their ad campaign away from trans-fatty acids to low carbs was pretty darned amazing.

And right now it’s carbohydrates. I like foods high in carbohydrates, and am saddened in the way that a man who was used to eat 6 eggs every morning for breakfast was saddened by the “Egg Bad” movement of my childhood.

I’m not alone in my thinking.

And so to bread.
