And your mention "most commercial bread products" brings me to the major point of my post, I think. That most commercial foods have ingredients/additives to make it more profitable for the manufacturer. And we have a right to know what we're eating. I'll still eat crap food every once in a while (I actually love it) but absolute transparency should be the norm. Who knew about pink slime? We see a listing and assume it's "good" -- and in small quantities it may not be that harmful, but when almost everything we're eating is chock-full of chemicals and additives that weren't in there 100 years ago, that to me is problematic.
