This is not a political message. I simply needed to get this off my chest. A lot of people give me a hard time because I still eat and serve white bread to my family. I know that we all have our vices, I probably have more than my share, but what harm does a little white bread really do. I do eat other types of bread, I really love rye, I like wheat and oat. I am not against other breads.
I do serve "enriched" white bread. It is so soft and it almost melts in your mouth. We are studying the Exodus from Egypt and I have to believe that the manna was much like white bread. Mmmm.... Slightly sweet and so satisfying.
We don't eat white bread at every meal. It is mostly for toast or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We don't always get through a loaf of bread before it goes stale. I think it goes back to moderation. My grandparents always had Wonder bread on hand, as well as fresh homemade yeast rolls. But, even back then, they also had Roman Meal wheat bread too. They lived to be 95 and 96 years old. When I have guests, I make an effort to have wheat bread on hand. Often times though when my guests see the white bread the wheat bread goes uneaten. Oh well.
Maybe you don't agree with my opinion of white bread, and that is okay. Maybe we can agree to disagree. I think we all have to do that sometime or another. Have a comment, please share. I pray that no matter what type of bread you eat, that you are feeding on the "bread of life" which is God's Word. This bread satisfies for eternity those who believe in Christ as their Savior.

I love bread.
ALL bread.
My children love it also.
Moderation is hard with bread.
I could eat it all the time.
I am asking Lisa to make yeast rolls for Thanksgiving.
UMMMMMMMMMM.
I love bread.
Do you remember rolling up one piece of white bread into little dough balls?
YUMMY!
I sure do remember. I also remember flattening it out and cutting it into "communion wafers".
yes in deedy!
I used to love going to Carmen's so I could have a white bread PB&J or baloney and mustard on white. But, I can't say that I buy it and here's why...I will eat it and my kids will prefer it. I'd prefer their taste buds develop a liking for healthier, more earth friendly (non-bleached, no need to be chemically enriched) foods. Of course, you know I'm no purist. I love me my Peeps and candy corns!
BTW...now I'm really hungry for a baloney sandwich on Wonder Bread.
You make great points. All valid. We have a saying in our house: "Try it, maybe your taste buds have grown". Perhaps a tasting of more "whole grains" is due in my household????
