after working in Germany for 3 years i soon got used to the superb breads the locals bake and eat over there, I got especially fond of the rye bread they sold in the markets and sandwiches in pubs shops etc, coming back i notice most people eat tasteless bleached bland white bread, why is this?

    They like it?

    Personally, I prefer wholemeal bread.

    It has its uses. We eat wholemeal and plain brown, and some of those 'Polish Bloomers'. But when it comes to fish figers or chip butties, only white will do.

    I hate rye bread, brown bread and such like. I love the taste of white bread.

    Personal choice. Such a simple concept to understand.

    People like different things. Or maybe they don't particularly like it, but it's what they can afford? Or, maybe white bread doesn't get as mouldy?

    I don't like white rice, but others do. I'm not questioning why they like it - although… really, why!?

    Don't like brown or wholmeal breads. I eat Scottish plain bread.

    This answers so much in life. I never understand why some don't get it.

    They like it because they know no better and have not tasted or been offered anything but white bread, council estates have a lot to answer for.

    I am quite open. I accept all types of bread into my life.

    However, when i was younger i used to have the crusts cut off in case i got curly hair.

    I generally prefer wholemeal but white is better for toast and bacon butties.

    Because its the truth, sandwiches of kids from council estates are 99% white, kids in private schools eat far more nutritious breads, I think the government should explore this....white bread is actually quite bad for you to boot.

    Hunks of brown or seedy bread are great with soup etc but for a plain old sarnie - or better yet, a bacon buttie hold the ketchup - nothing beats white, plastic bread!

    Have you got research to back up your claims?

    There speaks some who knows their bread.

    Ham and pease pudding stotties are the thing I miss most about the North East.

    I know that there are many people in the UK and around the world enjoy eating white bread. But what I am here to tell you today may really shock and surprise you. White bread is not good for your health. Not only is it not good for your health, it’s a real danger to your health!

    White bread is so dangerous that the Swiss government has taken a very important measure to get its population to stop eating this food.
    Switzerland has placed a tax on the purchase of white bread. The tax
    money is given to bakers to reduce the price of whole wheat bread to
    encourage people to switch to something other than white bread. God bless the Swiss because they are doing something really great!

    No it's not the truth. I never lived in a council estate and I'm actually the only person in my family that eats white bread. And do you know why? Wait, wait big revelation, because i prefer the taste of white bread, i like it so much that i eat even though I know it's bad for me. There is nothing nicer than french baguette.

    Wholemeal bread inflames my nickel allergy. It's a health hazard, brown bread. It should be banned.

    Racist. :p

    I mainly go for white as well unless I'm trying for a little more protein in my diet (wholemeal has more).
