It's horrifying to see the state of bread in some nations.

I really don't get why/how one of the simplest processes known to civilization needs a stock ticker and a Hogwarts-worth of chemicals thrown into it. It's really quite baffling.

The state of some of the processed packs of 'bread' I've seen/tasted shouldn't be allowed to trade using the name, tbh.

Is it really that baffling? People expect their bread to last more than two days, and it has to stay on the supermarket shelves longer than that. Of course you can cook your own bread and eat it quickly, but it's not very practical for a lot of people.
