Food for thought
Well, I've done a little research, and what I've discovered should
make anyone think twice before eating that incredibly mind-boggling and oh so dangerous food: Bread!
1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread eaters.
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
occurrence of radiation poisoning, skin cancer, food poisoning and
octogenarians.
7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of
bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after only 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.
