There are about 400 more ingredients listed in the non-organic breads. I've tried asking the bakers why the non-org. breads have so many chemicals and other ingredients in them, and they just don't get what I'm trying to ask. Simple is better, why do they have to complicate the recipes so darn bad, especially adding things like HFCS and other junk I don't recognize or understand.

When I go to the grocery store now, I spend painstakingly long amounts of time examining product ingredient labels, usually finding HFCS in places I know it doesn't belong---not that it really belongs anywhere, but in something like soda it's understandable, whereas in a vinaigrette salad dressing or a loaf of freshly-in-store-baked bread its presence is infuriating.

It covered a lot of the same stuff as the industrial food chain part of The Omnivore's Dilemma. Actually seeing the process involved in making high fructose corn syrup pretty much turned my stomach. I'm not eating that anymore! Ever! I saw King Corn on Monday night. It covered a lot of the same stuff as the industrial food chain part of The Omnivore’s Dilemma.
