New studies suggest a number of health hazards, and more importantly hazards to society from eating bread. Just look at THE FACTS:
- More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.
- More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.
- Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average
on standardized tests.
- 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.
- Bread is made from a substance called "dough". It has been proven that a little as one pound
of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than this in a single month!
- Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a much lower incidence of cancer,
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis than our so-called "advanced" society.
- Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects who were deprived of bread and given only
water to eat, begged for bread after as little as two days.
- Bread is often a "gateway" food, leading to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter,
cold cuts, crack, and even heroin.
- Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90% water, it
follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.
- Newborn babies can choke on bread.
- Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill
an adult in less than one minute!
- Most American bread-eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific
facts and meaningless statistical babbling.
In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following bread restrictions:
- No sale of bread to minors.
- A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete with celebrity TV spots and bumper
stickers.
- A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with
bread.
- No animal or human images, or any primary colors should be allowed to promote bread, since
these might appeal to young children.
- The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.
