Saleswoman:...And finally, this swimsuit comes with a loaf of bread! Cathy: Bread? Saleswoman: Nice, thick slices of white-flour bread! Cathy: If I buy this suit, I get to eat bread?? Saleswoman: Let's just say we know the real summer fantasies of the American woman. Cathy: Sold! Saleswoman: Everyone else markets to the low-carb dieter...why can't we? Saleswoman #2: The matching tote comes stuffed with hot dog buns!!

Hot dog buns? Yuck. Grocery store white bread? Yuck and boring. A warm, crusty baguette, preferrably with some grains, nuts and/or seeds. Yummy….Hello Cathy clan! Hope you all have a great week! Happy first day of June!

In defense of store bought white bread eaters….I like it!

I discovered by experiment that mass-produced white bread was causing my joint pains. Gave it up – instant freedom of movement again! (Okay, not quite instant, but it still worked.)
I can eat the more interesting kinds of bread, with grains, with cheese, with cranberries or with a lot of things I like, and without the pain.
Trouble is – it costs a lot more! But Cathy must have younger bones than mine, I suspect.

I haven’t bought store-type white bread for decades now. But every once in a while, nothing beats a thickly-spread PB&J on soft, squishy white bread. :)

Never eat the white squishy stuff – I prefer rye bread and bagels!

When I was a kid, white bread was all my mother ever bought.But after I grew up and met my husband, he introduced me to delicious wheat bread and that’s pretty much all I’ve eaten ever since. I still eat white bread in the form of hamburger and hot dog buns but when it comes to sandwich bread, I’ll pick wheat over white every single time — even for grilled cheese and PB&J’s (NOT mixed together, of course! LOL).
Meanwhile . . . just look at that monstrosity of a swimsuit Cathy was “talked into” buying simply because the saleslady threw in a loaf of white bread to go along with it. AACK!!!!! Looks like we’re all going to need a big dose of brain bleach today after all!!!!! :-(
Hi, rgcviper!
Anona Mouse: I think I’d much rather pay a little more for thenon-white bread if it brought me relief from joint pain so that I could move again. You definitely did the right thing for yourbody — inside and out.
Hello and Happy Monday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope everyone had a really nice day today! :-)

No temptation here — not crazy about bread anyway and certainly don’t like the sticky white bread I had pushed at me all through my childhood. Yuck!!

Whoops—too late.
