Ain't yoose never heard of "marketing?" Hawaiian sweet bread ain't really Hawaiian. In Hawaii, it's called "Portuguese sweet bread." In Hawaii, Hawaiian shirts are called "Aloha shirts." If you're in Hawaii, don't call us "Hawaiians." Call us, "da locals." We use the word "Hawaiian" so the folks on the mainland won't get confused.

As far as your bread manifesto goes, I think it's actually workable - if you were Kim Jong-Un. Dictators are able to say silly shit like that and make it work. If you ain't no dictator or God, what the heck are you doing wasting energy and your breath on such nonsense?
