    Buuuttt… You more or less did say that. This is what you said - “Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though”

    And Haha no worries my man, I simply had the time. The thing is… regular supermarket bread in your area does have added sugar. That is the point. It is not region dependant. It does in northern Germany, it does in southern Germany, east and west. It does in your bio-markt, it does in Aldi, it does at netto, it does at rewe. The common default is added sugar in one variety or another. It is rare, so rare it is much harder to find an exception to that rule. Grocery stores almost all have mass produced bread - mass produced bread has added sugar for a lot of good reasons.

    But serious question @taxiiiii. Do I need to go on? “Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though” - so you say - or does it? Which is exactly the point I was making about the ambulance. Ambulances never get blocked in Germany, just as german bread does not have added sugar. Both are of course wrong.

    Really. I can give you 1,000 other examples of where it has added sugar. I can also give you examples of german bread that have double or tripple higher added sugar then other countries typical bread.

    You are correct that many counties like Japan, or Sweden, or the US add sugar to their bread, but you would also be wrong to assume that it doesn’t happen in your country. Cause it happens in every country. Want to know how I know? I’ve professionally baked bread in Germany and the US.

    Germany is better than most places, but it happens here too. It could be one of those things you only notice when you’re looking for it.

    I’ve never seen someone open carry a gun in the US but when you listen to people it sounds like everyone does.

    I was a my friends WG (group apartment) and her roommate just got back from the US. She was shocked that the Americans even put sugar in their bread. Something something it’s why they are all fat and unhealthy. I was curious, so got all of the german bread there… And you know what? It all had a higher sugar content than the American bread example.

    In the United States what is pictured are not called pancakes. Those are Crêpes / crepes. Add a levening agent (baking soda) and flour and ya got American pancakes.

    Want to make them better and more uniquely American and not so Fastfood American?

    Use sourdough starter Or

    Carefully stir in (to not make it flat) 7up or a not too bitter beer replacing some or all of the water Or

    Replace some of the flour with fine corn meal, add rosemary and a pork product (eg sausage, cooked bacon cubes)

    Books or audio books on the subject of cults and conspiracy theories help to both understand this and eventually know what to do about it.

    Unfortunately, you arguing with them about it most likely did only damage and no good. Stop. It will only make your parents more right wing (and you left) then drive you both crazy.

    Here is a good place to start if you like: Hivemind by A.Montell Cultish BA S.cavanagh

    Hit me up if you want more. But it’s a complicated subject that can’t be explained in a short lemmy post. If you want any other advice, OP, eatsomeveggies.
