WHY EAT BREAD? S ome Questions and Answers
v ty One Who Studies Food
By Arnold Bllorat, Ph. P.
ALTHOUGH the price of corn Is
declining, and there la every
probability of bread becoming
cheaper, the varying price of
wheat, depending as It does
upon the character of the supply,
farces the question upon us, "Why
should we eat bread?" The answer Is,
of course, that we want something
which wc can keep on eating as long
as possible without getting satisfied;
and for this no moro admirable ma
terial can be found than baker's bread.
Habit also haa much to do with it
There was a tlmb, to be sure, when we
ate bread because we were hungry, but
that was in the days of home-made
loaf two of which were equal In nour
ishment to three of the baker's. But
making bread, even at home, is a ridi
culous proceeding for anyone who
really wishes to uae wheat for food.
It la a ridiculous proceeding because,
by making the wheat Into bread, much
of the nourishment is destroyed; the
sweetest part of the flour being turned
Into wind for puffing up or lightening
the rest. It Is ridiculous because by
Imply roasting the grains of wheat
heating them for 10 minutes In a dry
saucepan over a quick fire they yield
th most appetizing, the moat nourish
ing, and the most economical food
which it Is possible to obtain from
them, vl., the "parched corn" ho often
mentioned In the Old Testament
But Instead of this we first render
the Wheat uneatable by grinding It till
the grain run together In powder, and
then to make this powder eatable we
separate It again by meatus of gas and
water. And as If thla were not enough,
we usually Interpolate between these
two processes a third equally sensible,
vis., sifting out the most nourishing
art of the powder and throwing It to
Vie pigs. As every sifting adds to our
labor and diminishes our product we
thus obtain the paradoxical result that
the less nourishing the flour the higher
It price. To crown our work-we make
up for taking out what la good by put
ting in what I bad, namely, the
tnaTulnrnus veast with Its Inevitable
germ; and thla addition does so rob
the meal of its native sweetness that,
to disguise the resulting flavorless Or
m-fiavnred oroduct. we make another
disastrous addition salt.
To Find a Substitute.
