    I appreciate him taking time to note the importance of manufactured cheap bread. We all know artisan style breads taste better in every way, but mass produced bread has saved so many. Bless.

      fluffy girl, my thoughts exactly. Has it?
      Modern agricultural practices, sure, have indeed saved millions. But "industrialized" bread is most common where food (wheat) is already plentiful, and in the process lots of useful nutrients get thrown out.
      I can assure you that if I were starving, I wouldn't throw out 30% of the wheat (coincidentally, the most nutritious part).

      Jason Doe Although it has more nutrients, whole wheat is actually not healthier than white. The few vitamins able to be used by humans are not typically lacking. The rest aren’t even digestible. In addition, whole wheat is more expensive due to the density of white bread vs whole wheat. Lastly, the effect bread type has on you has been shown to be more reliant on the bacteria of your digestive tract rather than what ingredients you put in
      My source is one scientific article by Myhrvold, (2017) so this finding may have been disproven in 2019.

      But if someone bakes bread, and experiments around with the amount of salt a bit, it's easy to taste that difference. And he is called an expert after all.

A 0.5% increase or decrease in the amount of salt is significant. Also, the hydration is easy to identify by the chewiness and crumb structure. The guy is not a joke - he is just an experienced baker. My point stands for any expert in any area - one could identify patterns that are impossible to identify by the untrained eye.

They don't outright express the fact the cheaper stuff is bad and they always list pros to the cheaper stuff. Most of the time they arent perfectionists and and snobby about the stuff. You can tell they appreciate all the stuff they are presented with.

      Mankind is wasting around 1 300 000 000 tonnes of food per year (as far as Google knows). Sooo yep... "the horrors of mass produced foods...etc etc". It seems the problem is not about being able to produce enough, but rather where, how, why and by/for whom. I don't know much about the so called agribusiness, but I sure know that where Monsanto rules people either die from intoxication or starvation only so we could grow fat. As a (probably) great man once said : "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, is the very definition of insanity.". Acknowledging that - speaking of food production and processing that is - the "Mass-produced-cheapening" organisation of work as been tested, mesured and as plainly and unmistakably failed could be a little step forward. Just my 2 cents, all my apologies for the French style butchered English.

    • @soupisgoodfood42
      @soupisgoodfood42 6 років тому +26

      How are local, hand-made foods not viable? That's all there used to be. The real problem is that people have forgotten how, or no longer have time to make traditional food themselves. Industrialisation of food production doesn't help people in poor countries. And it's only necessary in more developed countries because poor people are required to work long hours. Go into the middle of Africa and see how the small villages make their bread. They aren't buying it off the shelf. They need clean water and the means to make their own foods the way they always have, not industrialised food products.

      Yeah because it's well known that mass-produced food is totally meant to feed the starving people in this world and not to sit in rich countries' stores until they're thrown away when the expiration date is reached... And that said mass-produced food isn't "mass-produced" on foreign countries' soil (to be cheaper) at the expanse of starving people: rice, bananas, exotic fruits, fishes, to name a few. There are TONS of countries in this world where starvation is still a problem because of rich, foreign countries swallowing these countries' riches and resources, as their own! Or where said rich countries are destroying their said resources to plant soy (to feed and later kill *50 BILLIONS* ANIMALS EVERY YEAR FOR THE MEAT INDUSTRY, only in rich western countries!) or palm trees *to feed rich countries* . Mass fishing is killing a lot of people around the world, especially small groups of people on small, ignored islands: these people were self-sufficiant for hundreds of years, following their environments' needs and taking only what nature gave them: and they were doing FINE. Big companies came and literally DESTROYED these ecosystems, all around the world! Mass industrialisation and mass food production IS the problem! Western countries are WASTING food and throwing tons and tons of food away EVERY YEAR! This food isn't made to feed the ones who are really struggling in this world: not even in said western countries! Do you see lots of homeless people eat 3 meals a day, thanking "mass production" for allowing them to eat because it's so "affordable", even for them? Well no! There are even industrial groups or supermarkets that *don't* even give their leftovers to charity for poor people and choose to throw it away rather than using it to feed PEOPLE!
      Now if you can only afford cheap industrial bread, well who cares? Who is gonna judge you for that and who is gonna spit on bread just because it's cheaper? But don't come and sing blessings for mass industrialisation and the food industry as it is today. It's certainly not what is gonna save the world. It's actually part of what is destroying it and the food industry is actually STILL creating starving people out there, in this world.
      And see, the first example is just proof of that. Yeah "industrial bread has fed a lot of people" but wtf is that price? In France, where the baguette is from (first bread A: it's actually a Banette, but whatever), a baguette costs 1€, or at most 1.10€. Which is CHEAPER, easily, than 3.60$ as it's said on the video. On the other side, in France, the industrial bread on B, costs 0.84€, which is not that big of a difference between "handworked"/expansive bread and industrial bread. 3.60$ is between 2.30 and 3.50€ and *no one* would buy a baguette that is that expansive! And seeing how the prices differ around the world, for something as cheap as BREAD, which is like water, and flour and oil and some salt, *is* a symptom of the problem with food industrialisation. And sometimes, the irony is, that some products are more expansive in the countries these products originated from, than they are in western countries! So yeah, this man in the video can say that food industrialisation isn't a bad thing, it's even a good thing to make decent bread affordable for everyone: because he's talking about *bread* that doesn't require to go fetch some exotic food on the other side of the world, where real starving people might NEED these products more than us!

    It's funny how he's so interested in 2B's color. 😂 This is my favorite type of bread, you always have a couple different ones to choose from in a bakery here in Germany. The “cap“, the first piece with lot's of thick rind on it, is the best piece of the entire bread, nice fresh and crunchy it goes well with strong flavoured toppings like a stronger cheese, smoked bacon or liver sausage (my personal favorite).
    You can get cheap bread in every supermarket and that's fine, but a proper nice tasty loaf of bread is worth the money. When bread stays good for a couple of weeks, I'm weirded out. I'm used to bread being off after a week. It tastes best day one and goes downhill from there. It's a fresh product. It doesn't just hold your toppings, it's an equally important part of the meal.
