Bread? Typical bread in America is not normal bread. It's too chemical.

Not sure what you mean by "typical bread," but the US is lousy with bakeries that make fresh bread. Even corporate owned supermarkets have them inside, and they bake fresh bread and things daily.

Nobody is forcing you to buy Wonderbread.

Often the flour that they're using is bromated flour so you don't get away from it even when fresh baked.

Bromated flower is banned in Canada, the UK, the EU, Brazil and China..... But not the U.S.

So yes the bread you get in the United States is specially chemically because of this.

lol you can get plenty of good bread in the US. try going to asia where its basically a luxury item and way too sweet

It's probably still made with bromated flour though...
