  • The “regular” ist key here. I checked my local breads, saw no added sugar, saw some sweet breads with sugar, concluded that regular bread usually doesn’t contain sugar. Asked you to disprove the claim with examples, because I got curious. That’s not claiming all breads contain no sugar. That’s your interpretation, not my intended meaning.

    I can also tell you why I concluded that: because I didnt count Gerstenmalz-extrakt as sugar (and didn’t know what “malted barley” translates to). I didn’t even know it was sweet. I searched for sugar in the ingredients and couldn’t find any. So now I learned something new, which is that this stuff is sweet, even if it isn’t pure sugar. Also that our breads, even if they usually taste less sweet than in other countries I’ve been to, have added sweet stuff. Good to know.


  • Dude, I never said no bread in Germany contains sugar. Regular supermarket bread in my area mostly doesn’t, so I was wondering. I’m not sure what got you annoyed enough about an innocent question to downvote me and turn this into a three comment answer? I really wasn’t trying to be snarky.

    That’s the thing with stereotypes, it’s not about saying all people or all things are like this, it’s about tendencies. Some people play those up for humor. Anyone who then seriously claims that “everyone/everything from country x is like that” is an idiot of course. I didn’t do that though.

    Thanks for giving me examples, it’s good to know that the sugar content of storebought bread is that different depending on the region. That’s all I wanted to know.

    Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though? I just looked it up for the supermarkets in my area, so I’m sure I’m not spouting bullshit.

    Genuine question, what bread did you look at?

    There are varieties with sugar, but it’s not the norm. This is definitely much more typical for other countries (not just the US).






  • Probably, but I’d only believe that there is really nothing to be done once I see someone actually left-leaning attempt everything in their toolbox.

    I believe Sanders would have tried to change as much as possible in the US. I also believe that he would have failed regarding a lot of things. Would have really liked to see him try though.
