I can never recall, running
out of bread, butter yes,
even sugar, but never bread,

That was when my mother
baked every day.

Running out of bread is a
modern phenomenon, only
since this rise of fake flour.

Mass production of homogenous,
commercial, processed, full of all
sorts of preservatives, stabilisers
and colourings, with an endless
supply chain, is why people run
out of, quantity bread.

The difference between now and
the future, is, sell by date, but not
eat by date, though, best before
end of wrapper is always there
after the list of ingredients which
nobody reads or understands.

I never run out of bread, because I
never run out of flour yeast or water.

" I bake, therefore rye bread ".
