Longevity of Bread..

A friend came to visit me 3 weeks ago, prior to her coming I asked if she'd stop pick up a loaf of bread for me...
She came carrying a bag of "whole wheat bread" I don't like whole wheat anything... I thanked her put the bread temporarily on the toaster oven. I have enough space where the loaf of bread some how found its way a fell behind it. 3 weeks ago..... Last night I was cleaning I pulled out the toaster oven there was the bread I had expected it to be moldy and smelly.. To my surprise I opened the bag and it felt as fresh as the day my friend brought it. I was oooh 02 by now it should of been green. I toasted a piece just to see. Tasted a small piece it was fine.
My question is, what type of chemicals are we ingesting used as preservatives to keep these items fresh? It's a little daunting to say the least....

This morning I purchased a loaf of fresh (like still hot) sourdough bread in an upscale grocery store I have never visited before. Wish we could have run right home and had some but even when it had cooled down it was delicious. All my life I have been a huge bread eater but for the past few months I am not into bread at all so this is a treat.

Take care,
Pa

JMO, unless you've had medical tests and must live a gluten-free life, the people that choose not to eat bread are missing out on some good food.

Personally I think gluten free food is a silly fad. (I can say that now that Darcie is not here, RIP.)
Yesterday I saw a dry cat food ad that was touted as "Gluten-Free." Can you imagine anything sillier (except maybe the people who would be persuaded to buy such a premium priced food.)

I don't know why we are feeding cats wheat in the 1st place.

It has been years since we have fed dogs any food that contains wheat or corn.That was long before I became knowledgeable about reading labels and deciding which foods to stay away from. It amazes me that some dog food sold by vets contain both ingredients.

Take care,
Pat
