Good bread for $0.50/loaf? By what metric is it good? It tastes good? I never disputed that cheap bread can taste good. It has a token amount of good additives? Sure, you can do that, and it makes the bread sound healthy, without actually being healthy. Let's assume the loaf is 1 pound (likely slightly more). You claim $0.50 ingredients in that 1 lb. Cheap flour is what, I see $0.02/oz at walmart (25lb bulk), so that's $0.32 per loaf, max. You've added 18 cents of other ingredients. (Edit: factoring in water, more like $0.15-0.20 of flour, so 30-35 cents for healthy additives). You can't buy much with 35 cents. The bread is still a bunch of empty carbs combined with some healthy food (baked, so a bunch of the nutrients are reduced. You can make more expensive bread that's 1 or 5 dollars too, it doesn't change the fact that bread is mostly empty carbs, plus whatever you added that you could have eaten separately and gotten more nutrients from.
