Your site is amazing. I spend a lot of time researching and was surprised not to have found you before. I stayed longer than I should checking out stats - some of which really blew me away. Thank you. |

Another stupid and meaningless statistic. For a start, we would have to know what kind of bread - i.e. the cheapest plain white bread or a gourmet wholemeal variety. What size of loaf? This shows that bread is relatively more expensive in Japan and the USA, because they are the two richest countries in the world. I believe that is because Japan and the USA don't incorporate a lot of bread into their diet, unlike in poor countries where it forms the staple, so bread is relatively more expensive in those countries. Also, it must be said that Japan has never had a tradition of breadmaking, since its carbohydrate intake has always come mostly from rice. |
