God I really hate these "war on x food" articles. CARBS MUST DIE. SUGAR MUST DIE. FAT MUST DIE. Well no, most adult bodies are pretty good at dealing with most of those.
Bread is fine much like most other foods. If you eat 2500 calories a day of broccoli you will gain weight. From broccoli.
American portion sizes being out of control is a problem. If you want to lose weight you can by all means order a sandwich. But if it's a honker then save half for lunch tomorrow, too. Two delicious meals for the price of one, and no pressured anxiety around ordering something you love to eat.
- debacle 4y ago2500 calories of broccoli is approx 3 gallons. From broccoli.
- dbg31415 4y agoIt would be about 45 cups of broccoli.

Maybe the body can handle it but the brain can't, right? UK portion sizes are nothing like the US and our obesity rate still sucks. People are going to keep drinking sugary drinks and eating chocolate and chips and cookies, getting drunk every weekend and ordering a kebab at 3am.

- spandrew 4y agoThe study is saying carbs or bread have an adverse influence on health. But that's false. It's creating anxiety about a loaf of bread that is patently idiotic. Eat a reasonable amount of bread and your body is fine. The human body is really great at adapting dietarily in most healthy humans. Weight is only one dimension of health.
- rjh29 4y agoThe whole point is that carbs are addictive and most people demonstrably cannot eat a reasonable amount of carbs and just stop, similar to any other addiction.
