Nonsense! Some fruits and vegetables are expensive. Depends on where you
live and what you buy.

You can get organic, grass fed meat here and it's not full of wahter.

And not all bread is sweet.

I add sugar when I make bread from scratch but it's a very tiny amount. I
always read that it was to help the yeast along. The bread I make toast with
has honey instead of sugar. It does taste sweet. But I don't think most
bread tastes sweet,
