@jeremy I don’t think bread/pasta is a bad food. I just eliminated grains from this exp’t & that’s mostly for reasons of personal preference & because other IRL interested parties are trying to follow a gluten free diet. I’m not a big believer in the gluten free lifestyle…but if I’m being honest with myself I don’t ever eat bread for the sake of eating bread. I don’t ever eat pasta for the sake of eating pasta. (unless you count spatzle!)
Well, except for when bread is fresh from the oven. Who doesn’t like that? But mostly bread is a way I like to eat butter and jelly. Pasta is a way I like to eat red or white sauces. So once the decision is made not to eat butter or jelly for the next little while it’s easy just to knock out the bread and pasta, too.
Gosh knows I’ve become an inveterate consumer of Ezekiel bread sandwiches since joining this forum. Don’t know that I’m planning to eliminate bread from my diet on an ongoing basis but even so it’s not that big a part of it now.
