Life is like bread;
It has crust and crumb
Sides.
Though bread like Panko is crustless; yet how many lives too are challengeless--soft inside out, without a single crusty issue--light or thick, brown or dark?

Little knowledge I could glean informed that: "Significant nutritional loss results from omitting crusts from bread.
Bread crusts are very high in fiber and antioxidants, and contain a greater concentration of vitamins and minerals than the inner portion of bread.
Crusts from darker breads, in particular, contain higher amounts of these nutrients such as pronly-lysine, an antioxidant shown to inhibit 'colon cancer.'"

So a being sans "scars and stripes"of life's downs seldom becomes a flag of glory to be hoisted up, accompanying with "Stars-Spangled" anthem of eclat.
