> my wife cooks fresh bread and almost every meal daily. Few realize the depths to which american food has sunk.

Epiphany came for me one day when I read the label on a multi-grain loaf of Pepperidge Farm: serving size two slices, and they contain double-digit percentage of your daily sodium allowance. No idea why I read it that day; had been making sandiwiches with them for over a decade. Most people probably never read those labels until one day the doctor tells them they have high colasterol and are heart attack candidates. Store brands "freshly baked" bread don't even have nutritional content labels, so I can only assume worse. I started making my own bread since that day (I learned how it was done the good old fashioned way with yeasties from my childhoold days), and my dear wife bought me a bread maker couple weeks later. I skip baking powder and salt in the recipes; sour dough french bread, with raisin added for potassium ;-)
