    Some people are alergic to it, others avoid it for other reasons.

    I eat bread but I don't think I have ever ate bread shaped like a turtle.

    It's kinda cute.

    Yes, and the recent spike in food allergies, particularly bread, is likely due to chemicals used in harvesting and processing grains, not the bread itself.

    What kind of chemicals?? Even f#cking bread is f#cked up now, hormones/antibiotics in our meats, pesticides in our fruits/vegs, and this.... No wonder people get cancer year after year.

    They use chemicals on the fields before harvest so that the grains can all be harvested at once. The fast-rising commercial yeasts also seem to be a factor, as well as the removal of bran. This is a US bread industry problem. You do not see these kinds of reactions on such a large scale in other parts of the world.

    CDC statistics:
    in 2014
    585,000 Americans died of Cancer. About 1.6 Million Americans are living with Cancer. And we're worry about ISIS , gay marriages ..... Cancer is only 2nd leading cause of death in the USA. heart diseases is Number 1.
    Americans should just worry about living healthy.

    People with Celiac (coeliac) Disease have a legitimate reason to avoid gluten. Anyone else on the gluten-free fad bandwagon are just being ridiculous.

    Well not "just worry" but certainly "worry more" is important.

    I voted "other" because it is a ridiculous option to have in a poll that already has "yes, no & sometimes".

    I just bought a bread maker because it was cheap but my brother says I will still never use it.

    Some types of breads sound truly delicious though.

    I try to avoid processed bread.

    I usually eat either organic, fresh bread from a local bakery, or I make my own bread. I eat dark bread, such as rye more than white. White bread is much less healthy.

    I have been moving more towards gluten free bread, such as from buckwheat or rice flour, but I still eat wheat bread sometimes.

    I'm just not a fan of bread. For me, it basically serves as something to contain the good stuff, something for me to hold on too while I enjoy the good stuff. I will occasionally eat bread as a side if there is something to soak or dip it in. I guess I don't like doughy stuff. I don't even eat pizza crust, it just gets in the way of the stuff that is worth eating.

    This is really odd for an Italian, but I "converted" to crackers, substituting bread in my diet. Really rare in this country. In fact, anyway, I have eaten a lot of bread until 40, then a kind of mystical nutritional crisis and it's a long time I don't eat bread.

    if true it's not a silly lawsuit.... it's an accident and that is what the restaurant has insurance for... per your link she had "a lacerated cornea" from the wait staff trowing a roll at her

    Yeah right.....
    Is that why her "a lacerated cornea" costs 25K?
    Jeez, my arse hurt when I sat on Lambert's bench seat. Should I sue????

    Tort reform is one of many things this country needs! Loser of the lawsuit pays court costs, all lawyer fees and loss of time/money to the winner.
    That should fix it!

    Have a friend that gluten, basically any grain, causes much trouble. I never had trouble with grain until I got older and avoiding bread helps though I will eat it while dining out but I just don't buy it for the home. I mean, what is a good hamburger, BLT, or grilled cheese without the whitest of bread?

    I just usually prefer the taste of non-gluten grains. Rice, buckwheat, corn, oats, etc...

    Not exactly. Low gluten diets are associated with lower sodium and fat intake because
    there are fewer fast food options and prepackaged and frozen entrees available all loaded with other nasties. The very process of reading labels to avoid gluten, provides a useful habit for learning and avoiding other. You tend to make more food from scratch unless you have lots of stores that are gluten free with varieties of convenient gluten free entrees producing the same result. There may also be some associated weight loss as you reduce the white carb and glucose load within those carbs.

    Not that these are intended per se, but I think there is likely a correlation to other side benefits.
