... legal flour?

[whodoesthegovt]

'No flour, bromated flour, or phosphated flour is used.'

[got_axed]

[I used to remember what those meant. sigh.]

You ain't one've the cooks, are you?

[whodoesthegovt]

No.

[ofthestorm]

Hey! If it wants to be bread, it ought to be bread! As long as it has the BREAD SPIRIT!

[whodoesthegovt]

Bread is inanimate.

[ofthestorm]

But it still has a soul! The love put into it by its creator!

[whodoesthegovt]

No, it is a product with a set of standards legally dictated by the country in which we reside.

[grilled2order]

Doubtful.

[whodoesthegovt]

I wonder if it's really important...

[grilled2order]

As long as the taste isn't unpleasant, I see no problem, really.

[whodoesthegovt]

Mm, it would likely be the staff that is prosecuted.

[swornmyoaths]

What about rye or potato bread?

(Placeholder, I must sleep.)

[whodoesthegovt]

In exactly the same manner, just because FDA has defined “milk” (unqualified) as a product of the dairy cow does not mean that the term “milk” may not also be used as m of the name for a nonbovine liquid product, provided, that the use of the term “milk” is appropriately qualified to show that the product is not a bovine product. Just as it is proper to label a product as “rye bread,” notwithstanding a definition and standard of identity for “bread” that requires that “bread” (unqualified) be made from wheat, so also, it is equally proper to label a product as “soymilk,” notwithstanding a definition and standard of identity for “milk” that requires that “milk” (unqualified) be derived from cows.

[swornmyoaths]

So they're not considered real bread?

[whodoesthegovt]

Apparently, not really.

[o_sarchasm]

Would that make us accomplices in crimes against bakery standardization?

[whodoesthegovt]

Ah, I hope not...! Perhaps I should refrain from eating anything before I can verify if it meets American legal standards.

[o_sarchasm]

[pfffft]

[whodoesthegovt]

I haven't yet researched all of the laws for this place... I don't know how harsh the law enforcement is.
