I think you will find that countries with a bread culture (e.g. Switzerland, Germany, France, etc) will not agree that what you consider bread is what they consider bread. This is a question about quality, not labour prices. Take the inverse: in Germany, by and large, a hamburger is that thing you get at McDonalds. That Americans typically pay more than $2.00 for a hamburger is not a sign of high labour costs, but rather that they'll buy something better instead.
