Since this is chemical, it should not be present in organic bread. It is also not used in most "fresh baked" breads you would but at the store....mostly mass produced and fast food breads.

The ancient wheat varieties also hand more and deeper root bases, which mined more nutrients and more water reserves were available. So the production was better as is the nutrition of the wheat produced.
No doubt, the old farm practices are not part of the huge, corporate, mono farms. Shame. Now it's pesticide and man made chemicals to fertilize instead of cow patties and good hay.
In the 40s when Victory gardens were pushed and encouraged by the government, people once again fed themselves. Many were community gardens. Fresher foods, no transport, etc. Variety -- & all prior to GMO issues.

Ewwww. That is disturbing. Is it safe to assume it is not used in organic breads? Or no?
I guess I better start making bread again...

Yes when I overthink it I get stressed out. So I take one thing at a time and know that I'm always working towards self sufficiency. A little at a time!

....just try to do as much as we can to minimize these problems.
That's the best we can do.
Good way to take it. You can make yourself crazy.

Yet another reason to make your own bread. I am even thinking about moving on to sandwich rolls for burger and such. Big Family Homestead did a blog on making some nice soft sandwich rolls. I was interested before but now doubly so.
I know I can eat home grown free range eggs but most store bought make me sick. I kind of figured it was what they feed those critters.

My customers all say they taste so much better! Since I don't/haven't gotten store eggs in yrs, I don't know...

Wonder if that is a side affect of ingesting too much azodicarbonamide?
