Things life has taught me

  1. Never never never eat white bread, or feed it to children, it just changes to sugar in your body, it is poison!
  1. Never never never support slave based industry, eg cannabis, clothing made with child labour, UNNESSESARY TECH UPGRADES, like replacing perfectly good working phones for no reason
  1. I'm sure I will think of more. Not much point in going into the environmental ones, like limit meat and diary, and never eat fish, don't drink bottled water etc, much debated elsewhere on Mumsnet

What are yours?

I can only eat white bread. This is on the advice of a dietician, specialist and dr. I find a white sourdough good.
I don't make rules, I am just thankful to be alive and as well as I am.
I believe in taking every opportunity you can, travelling as much as possible to broaden my horizons.
Enjoy your surroundings .
Never be wastful or materialistic
think outside the box
Be kind and honest.
What goes around comes around.

@Oogachuckachopsy

Things I have learnt from this thread:

1.) OP doesn’t know what lighthearted means.

2.) OP is no dietician.

3.) OP seems to believe 50,000 death certificates read as such each year: Cause of death: 1A Mighty White.

I don't need to post on this thread as other posters are nailing it!

OP is certifiable & I really hope that she's not telling the truth about her foster care role, with her obsessive focus on white bread & utter intolerance of anyone else's point of view or facts

My DM used to make us white toast with sugar sprinkled on it as a treat…. I shall be reporting her to the police for attempted child poisoning forthwith Shock

  1. Don't be a dick.
  2. Biscuits fix everything

and my final Life Rules contribution to this thread. This life rule also doubles up as my annual new years resolution.

Have More Fun.

Chunkymenrock · 13/08/2021 12:12

All this talk of white bread and I'm craving a honey sandwich on soft white bread with butter...heaven.

Sparklingbrook · 13/08/2021 12:14

I think we'd better order some baguette coffins in if we're all going to die by bread.

I just watched my DH eat a golden syrup sandwich on white bread… i dread to thigh what op would say about that!

DeflatedGinDrinker · 13/08/2021 13:28

Mines to try to have a biscuit with every hot drink.

your husband is a blind fool, putting himself and his family in critical danger

no offense

I think you need to get your eyesight checked. The user's name is BritWifeInUSA. USA. Where Cannabis is legal in one form or another for Medical Use in all states and for recreational use in some. That poster's husband clearly works on a Licensed Cultivator's farm.

Maybe if you ate some nice, white crusty (I can recommend adding homemade Bramble or Cherry Jam, the latter preferably with a nice, sharp, hard Ewes' milk cheese), your blood sugar level would be high enough not to be impinging upon your cognitive function as regards simple reading comprehension, attention to detail and a bit of general knowledge?

I saw the bold statement at the start of this and thought for a second it was OP's response to the husband below eating white bread and honey 🤣

I had a white crusty roll with cheese and butter for lunch as a direct result of this thread. It was delicious. Thanks OP.

@Ericaequites

Long term marijuana use can lead to psychosis, loss of intelligence, early dementia, and other brain damage. Adolescents are especially vulnerable. Just say no! Read TellYour Children for more details.
I smoked for over ten years, I was chronic by the end, 3 spliffs before I out of bed, so many problems, it's like I've lost a chunk of my life. People think it doesn't harm, I was one of them. Been clean for 5 years 8 months now, only just getting back to be me. I've been left with such bad anxiety etc though. Like alcohol some people can indulge and not need it others become addicted.

Sorry if I went off on a tangent and sounded all preachy there.

Brilliant!!!
Davros · 13/08/2021 16:38

I had a slice of white toast with butter and chicken liver pâté for lunch, washed down with builder's tea. I'll die happy

DroopyClematis · 13/08/2021 18:08

I'm wondering, OP, if you're confusing your breads?
Many cultures eat white bread, from white flour using methods used for millennia.
Highly processed western sliced white bread ( truly delicious!) is made using the Chorleywood Bread Process which is a relatively recent phenomenon in which bread is produced very quickly meaning that natural fermentation/proving etc... processes are bypassed.

White sourdough /white flatbreads are often acceptable to gluten intolerant folk as they are produced /allowed to rise naturally.
Our bodies are more tolerant to this .

That being said , there's nothing better than a slice of ( insert whatever brand you want) Sunblest/Mother's Pride , toasted then slathered in a good dollop of butter ( not spread) and stuffed in your gob.

I'm going to also to suggest, OP, that being too messianic about something so relatively minor , in the grand scheme of things, might not come across well.

White bread isn't that important.

Banani · 13/08/2021 19:14

My only concern is some people on this thread genuinly did not seem to know that eating white bread is the same, physiologically as just spooning sugar straight into their mouths.

As a type 1 diabetic with a continuous glucose monitor I can tell you this is absolutely bollocks. White bread does have a very high GI (more so than other breads which generally will have a similar amount of carbs in it) but physiologically it is very different than ‘straight’ sugar. Spooning in sugar, or having it in liquid such as fruit juice impacts your blood sugar much more quickly, it’d make a crap hypo treatment.
