I had a friend from college who referring to bread as "space food" in that it took up space and was filling but not nutritionally dense. I have the suspicion that her family had some body issues when it came to diet but I think some people do paint bread and other carb-heavy food as caloricly dense but not nutritionally necessary.

I'm kind of reminded of the recent gawker post about Lena Dunham feeding a 22 dollar salmon salad plate to her dog where one of the common comment themes was disgust at the thought of eating off a plate that might once have been licked by a dog (regardless of washing). It's just two sides of the same awfulness.

Bread shame is more of a domestic thing than a public thing, in my world. You know that thing where one domestic partner suggests having grilled cheese for dinner and the other feigns disagreement in a way that makes both partners feel bad for wanting to eat bread for dinner. Should we? "No, not if you don't want to. Do I? Kind of, but maybe we should be healthy."
― fields of salmon, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 00:58 (nine years ago) link
Doesn't have to be grilled cheese. Could just be baguette with dinner.

the great thing about gluten free people is how easily they are thwarted. you can buy something called "vital wheat gluten" which is essentially pure gluten. when i cook for the gluten free crowd, i like to throw a tablespoon of this stuff in to whatever i'm making, even if it's something that wouldnt ordinarily have flour in it. for example, thai lentil curry with lemongrass AND GLUTEN. so far no complaints, which proves this whole thing is horse shit.
disclaimer: i would never fuck with anyone who had actual allergies, sensitivities, or cultural/religious dietary concerns. only gluten.

A small percentage of people have medically demonstratable difficulties tolerating gluten. A larger group of people <b>believe</b> they feel better when they don't eat gluten.

A group of people in my office decided to try gluten-free for 30 days together. I asked them about the results and most of them said they felt no different. One of them, however, told me "I didn't really notice a difference, but I'm definitely going to keep doing it."
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 03:00 (nine years ago) link
i would probably feel a lot better if i cut out beer and bagels and pizza 100%. many dietary restrictions are just a way for people to remember not to eat bullshit/high glycemic poison. imo.

my friend who has bonafide diagnosed coeliac disease is grateful to these abstinent fools for vastly increasing the range of gluten-free food available, so even though they're boring and ridiculous they do have their uses.
