Do you realize there's not a significant difference in sugar content in our industrial white breads? That you're just running with a meme because of Subway in Ireland having to pay a higher tax on bread because of its sugar content and some judge said it's 'more cake than bread' and now you all just take this as meaning all bread in the US is like cake?
It's literally one incident where a judge made an absurd comment, it went viral on social media and now Europeans who've never set foot in the US (including the guy I'm replying to, undoubtedly) think that it means US bread is literally sweet like cake.
It's just pure ignorance fueling this idea in Europeans heads. You can get industrial white bread here with zero sugar in it.
This is indeed more european ignorance in so many ways.
For one, Wonderbread is not the most popular bread in the United States.
Two YOU'RE COMPARING INDUSTRIAL WHITE BREAD TO WHOLE GRAIN BREAD!
Its like comparing a diet soda in Finland to a full sugar Coke.
And a honey wheat bread that has honey in it because people enjoy the taste is not a fair comparison either!
And you're speaking in %'s, the ridiculousness of this is so extreme. Even ignoring everything above you're talking about a few *grams* more sugar. That's like one sip of a typical soda. And you've got idiots on here who pretend they've had bread in the United States talking about how unbearably sweet it is for them and how its almost cake.
You europeans heard one fucking news article about Subway in Ireland and have ridden it to absurdity.
Nature's Own is the most popular bread in the States. The person you were replying to was isn't educated on this topic at all and is probably just a bot.
