Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · How To Eat Bread Without Feeling Bad | Sue Becker · 26 Jun 2026 podcast

A lot of people laugh and say, well, 25 pounds, you know, is a lot of flour, 50 pounds.

They had large families.

They were a lot of times baking for farmhands and they were making all of their own bread.

So yeah, prior to the 1900s, America was one of the healthiest nations in the world.

And you can look at it statistically.

When the steel roller mills came on the scene that sifted the bran and germ away from the flour, producing this massive volumes of white flour, stripping it of all of its nutritional value, all of its fiber, those local millers went out of business.

And everyone loved the white bread because it was fluffier.

And every woman in America goes, hallelujah.

I don't have to mill my own flour anymore.

You know, I remember years ago, Brad's grandfather moved in with us and I was milling my flour with my electric grain mill, you know, in my kitchen.

And he was sitting over in the recliner and he did like this.

He goes, I milled a lot of corn in my day.

You know, so hallelujah.

We don't have to do this anymore.

Someone's going to make this food for us.

And the bread was fluffier and whiter.

And you can look at the statistics of the Health of America website.

When those steel rolling mills came on the scene in the early 1900s, by 1910, local millers, they had displaced the local millers.

White bread, white food, white flour was food for everybody.

You can look at the statistics of America's health and see it decline.
