It's an observation, not a value judgement. Try finding a fresh loaf of bread in the average American suburb.

American suburbs tend to have excellent bread in middle class neighborhoods or higher. This isn't the 90s.

Honest question.. where? Most bread seems to be high in additives and promoted as a “healthy food”, like additional vitamines etc.

And even when buying natural bread without these added “benefits”, it often has high levels of sodium (up to like 200mg per slice).

Bread is one of the easiest, most plain things to make, yet finding high quality bread isn’t straightforward in the States. But I do really want to know which shops and which brand you get, I’d love to find good bread lol.

Most suburbs have very artificial breads. Best bread would be in NY or DC, with a big population of foreigners ready to pay the price for fresh bread.

No they don't, lol

The garden variety baguettes in Spain that go for 50 cents are superior to $8 "gourmet, artisanal" bread in the US.

they said bread, not sugar fluff with a brown outside.

Don't get me wrong, shit's delicious. It's just not what bread should be.
