a one horse store that only had Wonder "bread", I beg of you.
If you have a nearby Safeway and that Safway has a bakery. Or for that matter if any of the nearby Safeways have bakery.
Go to the fresh bread section. Pick up a loaf of Italian or Sour Dough.
You'll see the difference between bread and Wonder "solidified chemtrail in a bag".
If you have a nearby KingSupers and that KingSupers has a bakery. Or for that matter if any of the nearby KingSupers have bakery.
Go to the fresh bread section. Pick up a loaf of Rye. The dark Rye is especially good.
Heck even the raccoons wouldn't mess with that Wonder "solidified chemtrail in a bag".

Price is reasonably the same, however the bread won't stay fresh as long.
On the up side, it doesn't taste like "solidified chemtrail in a bag".

Please note I do feel bad for the workers. I hope they find jobs in a bakery that cares about the product.
It might even be such that said bakery cares about it's employees
