They picked bread because the ingredients are simple. They've likely never baked bread in their life and have no idea what a time/effort sink it is. It's not the hardest thing to make from scratch but as you say it's not practical for someone with a day job.
This is all besides someone subsisting entirely on bread would end up very malnourished. It might carry a lot of calories but it's missing a lot of important necessary nutrients. But hey the math is simple! Therefore people shouldn't go hungry!

It's not practical to make bread if you have a day job???? There's like 20 minutes of work in making bread and the timings are actually extremely forgiving not "particular" at all. Seriously now what a bizarre conversation.
- bhhaskin 4y agoI think part of the problem is a lot of people either lost these skills or never had them to begin with. So it's something that is perceived as a complex time consuming task. And it is; if you are doing it on a large scale. Most people have also gotten used to being able to eat whatever they want when they want it.
