It LOOKS different than anything you can get in a store. It TASTES different than anything you can buy. Nothing has been added and nothing has been taken away. Until you have made it yourself you don't know the meaning of WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.
The best part is it stays with you unlike anything you can buy. It is an entire meal, two slices of bread with peanut butter and preserves. You can go out cut your grass with a hand scythe for hours into the mid afternoon before you feel the pangs of hunger again. Nothing you can buy in the store even comes close.
I know, I have done it.

I couldn't agree more. Our family can't eat shop bought bread anymore - it's like eating fresh air! My lovely wife, Emma, bakes almost every day, as well as making lovely meals from our own home grown vegetables.
Great to see these things coming back into people's awareness.
