Everything is processed these days. I swear we were raised to avoid processed food, and now that's all they push. Aspartame, palm oil, meat-free, soya. All shit. Whatever happened to milk, eggs, butter, good meat and veg?

In the past people had bread as their main source of calories which is very much a processed food.

Bread is a terrible food source, health wise, it's merely convenient and delicious in it's end product form.

Wholemeal bread has quite a lot of nutrients and also contains some protein unlike many sources of starch. Great if you are doing physical work for 14 hours a day.

But do people who sit at their computers all day need to be eating large amounts of carbs? No.
