I hate the words "empty calories". It's an oxymoron. Calories cannot be "empty", they are fuel for the body, they always have been.
Only years of fad-diets and food industry advertising could have turned a staple of human evolution as bread as something "evil".
- mixmastamyk 13y agoBread (and others) have provided the fuel to build civilization, true. However, they are man-made foods. When was the last time you saw a chimpanzee or caveman enjoying a loaf of bread, plate of pasta, etc? As it has only existed since the dawn of agriculture, your tying of it to evolution is incorrect.
