I've done a little research, and what I've
discovered should make anyone think twice....

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

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

3.   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.

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

5.   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!

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

7.   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.

8.   Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to
    "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even
    cold cuts.

9.   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.

10.  Newborn babies can choke on bread.

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

12.  Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish
    between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical
    babbling.



In light of these frightening statistics,
we propose the following bread restrictions:

1.   No sale of bread to minors.

2.   A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity
    TV spots and bumper stickers.

3.   A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal
    ills we might associate with bread.

4.   No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may
    appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.

5.   The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.


ETA: I did not do any research, this is a joke e-mail that I got that I though was funny.

White?
Wheat?
Sour dough?
Rye?

Which bread should we avoid to give our selves a sense of safety and security?

I think all of them, espically the evil looking pieces that are in the front of the loaf.

Tin foil time, I think it those diets are created by the government to reduce bread usage in its ultimate goal to eliminate the total usage of bread in America

Exactly the opposite, my friend. The government does all it can to encourage bread eaters.
Bread eaters require "a village" to survive; someone to grow the wheat, someone to store the wheat, someone to mill the wheat, someone to grow the yeast, someone to bake the bread. Bread forces people to live in communities and settle down. Bread does not require weapons to hunt with and places people where they are more easily controlled.

Whereas hunters are independent, nomadic following game, and are armed.

Don't let the bread eaters win!

The Gov't should pass a law that anyone with more than 10 loaves, or more than 25 lbs of flour must apply for a Bakery License

This is just to get a rise out of us, isn't it?

Soon bread will be available only to the upper crust of society, not just to anyone who loafs around.

The whole idea is just half baked though.  There's too much dough involved with Big Bread for them to give up without a fight.

EXACTLY!

South Beach and Aitkins encourage consumption of MEAT!

Eat your fill, boys, and don't worry about the bread and pasta!

Loaves may not contain more than ten slices. Licensed sandwich shops and cafeterias may contain loaves with more than ten slices if those loaves are marked "For sandwich shop or cafeteria use only".  The loaf also may not have have sprinkled sesame seeds on top if it utilizes detachable end pieces.

Largest "Bread Lab" bust in US history

Officer Pacino (pictured top) was quoted saying; "If it wasn't for my trusty ah, um,
my rifle here, things could have gone bad"



"Bread Lab" surveillance photo:


Authorties decided not to take down the lab during peak production for fear of
all the flour suspended in the air might ignite during the gun play that was sure to follow.
