I found this and thought you'd all enjoy it!:

*More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

*Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households
score below average on standardized tests.

*In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home,
the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality
rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and
diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole
nations.

*More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours
of eating bread.

*Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that
as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The
average American eats more bread than that in one month.

*Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence
of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

*Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and
given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.

*Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more
than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your
body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into
a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

*Newborn babies can choke on bread.

*Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit. That
kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

*Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between
significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling
 
The molds that grow on certain kinds of bread can include Ergot fungus... which contains the active ingredient in LSD. Therefore, bread has the potential to make a drug addict out of ANYONE.
 
Thanks for the laugh! :D

This is a great example of how correlation (e.g. bread and life expectancy) does not mean causation (bread causes shorter life spans).

Bread is a precursor of LSD?

I think we should restrict the sale of bread then. Bread should only be available from the pharmacy and bread buyers should be restricted to one loaf per week and required to sign a registry.
 
Whatever those statistics may misrepresent or may be true, I was addicted to bread. I needed a piece of bread, or sometimes several pieces of bread, with every meal. For soup, I used to load up on crackers. When I was 20, I cut out bread altogether, and just ate meat and vegetables and fruit, and from that and excercise, I lost a lot of weight. Almost a small person! Now, the only bread in the house is low carb tasteless crap, and I can't stand that. For Sunday morning breakfast, I have rye bread as a treat. I still have my favorite, whole wheat bread, the REAL whole wheat bread ;) for those in the know (the first ingredient has to be whole wheat), and rye bread, and my favorite sour dough rye bread. But only in small quantities, not that often. I feel better, but thats because of all the weight I've lost (still need to lose a fair amount yet).

I can only support those restrictions for recreational bread users. Where there is a legitimate medical need for bread it should be readily available.
