Q
Bread of Shame

Why doesn't loving someone unconditionally give them Bread of Shame? Isn't that how we basically got Bread of Shame in the first place, because the Light gave us everything and loved us unconditionally? ~RN

http://cdn1.kabbalah.com/kabbalah.com/images/teachers/ruth-rosenberg-380x380.jpg Answered by: Ruth Rosenberg

You are correct about the fact that the Light loves us and gives to us unconditionally and it does create Bread of Shame, but that will never stop. The focus of the Light is not on itself, but to share. It is our responsibility to engage in restriction, sharing, and being loving so we can earn what is given to us continuously. Therefore, part of this process is to be “a Light-like being.”

The act of loving unconditionally is more important for us than the recipient. In acting like the Light we earn the connection with it. Many times, when you give or love unconditionally, it shines so brightly that it gives the other person the inspiration to become part of that as well. Generally, with spiritual work we should always focus on our own work and less on the work of another person.

Have to go back to making bread after discovering a great loaf in LIDl for the last couple of weeks.
Why the bread shame? too many diabetics and ducks being fed the wrong thing?

The baker's trade terrified the young man. He learn'd as much of it as would keep him going, -- but when he began to see into it, the smells, the unaccountable swelling of the dough, the oven door like a door before a Sacrament, -- the daily repetitions of smell and ferment and some hidden Drama, as in the Mass, -- was he fleeing to the repetitions of the Sky, believing them safer, not as saturated in life and death? If Christ's Body could enter Bread, then what else might? -- might it not be as easily haunted by ghosts less welcome? Alone in the early empty mornings even for a few seconds with the mute white rows, he was overwhelmed by the ghostliness of Bread.

That's why they call it Bread Alone, cuz you'll be eating it alone! Hahahahahaha!

totally a thing

it is kinda a thing here -- the perceived gluten intolerance, dunno if people actively "shame" each other though -- but the central SF Bay Area is "special snowflake" central

See also: breadmaking bores. A different but still pertinent kind of breadshaming going on with those guys.

i love how the second commenter out of the gate is ready with a "b-b-but bread is bad for you and makes you fat."

p.s. i haven't eaten bread in a week and that bagel/cream cheese up top looks GORGEOUS

keep me posted this could be my issue

making toast right now

it gets better

bread shaman

these are interesting & maddening false-ternary poll options

definitely a thing
i've seen people "sneak" pieces of bread like they're eaten radishes from the witch's garden
i think it's less about gluten and more about carbs though

it was a really tough choice!

do i vote for the most "insightful" choice, the one with the typo, or the one i feel most strongly about

always vote with your heart
that means the one with the spelling error (for me)

there are really disturbing results when you type "funny bread" into google image search

eaten? eating.

god i hate today

voting to establish 'i love bread' as its own board to discuss this and other important bread related issues

i've never experienced this (and i fucking love bread) but i live in texas where people are busy judging me in other ways so my vote probably doesn't count

I had a friend from college who referring to bread as "space food" in that it took up space and was filling but not nutritionally dense. I have the suspicion that her family had some body issues when it came to diet but I think some people do paint bread and other carb-heavy food as caloricly dense but not nutritionally necessary.

i have been shamed for eating low-class bread : /

i have been shamed for being a bread snob

I live a block from a French-style bakery

i live less than a block from whole foods

xp well, you live in a french-style city

There's a combination boulangerie + patisserie + bistro within walking distance of my house (a mile). They sell the good stuff for $3.85 a loaf. I am very happy about this. I have no shame.

anyway this sort of food extremism makes me really annoyed and heightens my latent misanthropy

"I was tacitly bread shamed" seems every bit as special snowflake as gluten sensitivity.

i think my co-workers leave bread products out for everyone to nosh specifically to torture me (they are all rail thin and eat junk all day including lunch)

I'm kind of reminded of the recent gawker post about Lena Dunham feeding a 22 dollar salmon salad plate to her dog where one of the common comment themes was disgust at the thought of eating off a plate that might once have been licked by a dog (regardless of washing). It's just two sides of the same awfulness.

Bread shame is more of a domestic thing than a public thing, in my world. You know that thing where one domestic partner suggests having grilled cheese for dinner and the other feigns disagreement in a way that makes both partners feel bad for wanting to eat bread for dinner. Should we? "No, not if you don't want to. Do I? Kind of, but maybe we should be healthy."

Doesn't have to be grilled cheese. Could just be baguette with dinner.

the other day i bought sara lee made with whole grain white bread ™ because it was the cheapest thing on the shelf and thought WHITE WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK but figured hey whole grain

but it seems i have been played for a fool

p.s. i haven't eaten bread in a week and that bagel/cream cheese up top looks GORGEOUS

Is that a bagel? I don't think that's a bagel, it's too oddly shaped.

If anyone told me they didn't eat bread I would just look at them. And judge.

I meant to type this into ilx like two months ago when it was relevant but 'im allergic to glutten' is the new 'I don't watch tv'

the great thing about gluten free people is how easily they are thwarted. you can buy something called "vital wheat gluten" which is essentially pure gluten. when i cook for the gluten free crowd, i like to throw a tablespoon of this stuff in to whatever i'm making, even if it's something that wouldnt ordinarily have flour in it. for example, thai lentil curry with lemongrass AND GLUTEN. so far no complaints, which proves this whole thing is horse shit.

disclaimer: i would never fuck with anyone who had actual allergies, sensitivities, or cultural/religious dietary concerns. only gluten.

so wait, the gluten thing is bogus?

<i>so wait, the gluten thing is bogus?</i>

A small percentage of people have medically demonstratable difficulties tolerating gluten. A larger group of people <b>believe</b> they feel better when they don't eat gluten.

people believe a lotta things

this is fucked up fields of salmon

A group of people in my office decided to try gluten-free for 30 days together. I asked them about the results and most of them said they felt no different. One of them, however, told me "I didn't really notice a difference, but I'm definitely going to keep doing it."

i would probably feel a lot better if i cut out beer and bagels and pizza 100%. many dietary restrictions are just a way for people to remember not to eat bullshit/high glycemic poison. imo.

lol hurting xp

my friend who has bonafide diagnosed coeliac disease is grateful to these abstinent fools for vastly increasing the range of gluten-free food available, so even though they're boring and ridiculous they do have their uses.

I fear the goddess Ceres would strike me down if I gave up bread and grains.

ceresly?

No, I don't think that ~bread shaming~ is a Real Thing.

However, Food Shaming, as a more general thing, is definitely a Real Thing, also Diet Shaming, which is what a lot of people are discussing ITT. (And these things are closely tied to Body Shaming, with all its inherent gender and class and sometimes race issues all wrapped up in it.)

What bothers me about this, though, is the way that people will take a term or usage associated with (for lack of a better word) "social justice world" and then use it as a clever buzzword, and push it into reductio ad absurdum examples which are patently ridiculous, and specifically aimed at provoking ridicule or disbelief or invocation of the "special snowflake" dismissal. But the actual target of this is not the absurd example, but the whole concept itself, especially when tied to digs at how ~terrible~ the whole "social justice" thing is. The target here isn't "Bread-shaming" (which is absurd) but the idea of "X-shaming" when used in other, more legitimate contexts.

This happened with "privilege" and now it's happening with "X-shaming". Where "OMG, this usage is so terrible and buzzword and overused" becomes a kind of shortcut to dismissing the whole concept itself. Which leaves me with a deeply unpleasant taste (faintly akin to stale bread?)

I don't even own a sandwich

i don't care if you're white, brown, black bread

I always considered grilled cheese a proper sandwich and not just fancied-up bread and am now questioning whether I have lived a lie.

“People love to look at the stuff on your plate,” says the filmmaker (and bread fan) who produces projects with James Franco. “It’s like a competition! But it’s not fun… nobody ever wins.”

Think what Branwell is saying is that the concept of 'bread-shaming' is so poorly thought out as to be ... ... ... half-baked

I suffer household sandwich shaming on a regular basis

XP is it, dough?

Well as a concept it's certainly full of holes

we knead some kind of term to describe it.

cv I get bread-shamed regularly too. But I don't mind, I know my shamers are only trying to get a rise out of me

when its spelt out like that I'm amaized

It's political correctness gone aw-rye

This is too much, I've got to popover to another thread.

what crumby jokes.

Don't get me started

This is too much, I've got to popover to another thread.

But the bun is about to begin

I don't actually put gluten in people's food, it was a joke .

Those puns were painful

excuse me while i check my panbrioche.

yes, at this point they're coming off a bit flat.

If there's anything else you need, just cholla!

that's it, I'm leavening

One of my best friends is celiac and cow-juice intolerant. She had to revise her intake from cruelty-prompted vegetarianism (with all the bread and cheese that usually entails) to being a goat's cheese-eating pescatarian. On the bright side, she'll always agree to Vietnamese dinners out.

I don't actually put gluten in people's food, it was a joke .

Glad you fessed up. Secretly putting gluten into other people's food is bagl

wahey

sub-par imo

Sorry to hear that dmac. My skills are a bit crusty

I'm writing these down so I don't baguette them

Thought the puns would've pide-d out by now...

Naan more from me.

This thread reminds me of this one time I was working at a bank, helping fill the CoinStar machine and this woman came in with these inflatable nickels that when filled with air would be legal currency. I could not believe that the USA would allow such a thing but crazier things have happened. So When I asked her if she needed the nickles changed into dollars she said sure but first could I help pumpernickel.

for fuck's sake

is fuck a kind of bread in your country

we were on a roll for a bit there.

a rare bit.

joke was thread shaming imo

You all ought to be sconed for these horrible puns. I just might have a cracker at it.

well quit wafering about and do it then.

Tired looking men eating baguettes in the supermarket as they do the shopping, seems to be a thing around here.

A Casper College student returned to his vehicle Monday afternoon and found three loaves of unidentified bread on the passenger seat.

That wasn't the biggest surprise.

The Casper Police Department later confirmed the bread was contaminated with the drug LSD, according to Casper College Director of Public Relations Rich Fujita.

Fujita said the student contact campus security to report the mysterious loaves, which he stumbled upon about noon Monday.

"He had no idea where they came from," Fujita said.

Campus security conducted a field test, Fujita said. After determining the bread was suspicious, it forwarded the loaves to Casper police. The police department confirmed LSD was present in the bread and has since taken over the investigation, Fujita said.

Fujita said he knew of no suspect or possible motive as of late Monday afternoon. He also had no information about whether the car was unlocked or a window was open at the time of the incident.

The Casper Police Department didn't return the Star-Tribune’s calls for comment Monday.

In an email alert sent at 3:15 p.m. Monday, the college warned people to not eat foods of unknown origins.

http://books.google.com/books/about/Bread_of_Dreams.html?id=ahYo7AkeAjUC

n a rich and engaging book that illuminates the lives and attitudes of peasants in preindustrial Europe, Piero Camporesi makes the unexpected and fascinating claim that these people lived in a state of almost permanent hallucination, drugged by their very hunger or by bread adulterated with hallucinogenic herbs. The use of opiate products, administered even to infants and children, was widespread and was linked to a popular mythology in which herbalists and exorcists were important cultural figures. Through a careful reconstruction of the everyday lives of peasants, beggars, and the poor, Camporesi presents a vivid and disconcerting image of early modern Europe as a vast laboratory of dreams.

student finds random bread, so he calls the police, and they... test it for drugs? wtf

I'd say he was

The sandwich was named by the scientists of the Royal Society of Chemistry "Britain's cheapest lunchtime meal" in November 2011, with the cost cited as being as low as 7.5 UK pence per sandwich.[2] The veracity of this claim, however, has been questioned, as "bread on toast" is approximately two thirds the cost.[citation needed]

that is quite possibly my favourite wiki amendment ever

that's dumb, it should obviously be

But that would be a bread sandwich. On toast.

sandwich sandwich. Two extra bread slices.

I believe murder is wrong but if anybody ever gave me even the smallest hint of a hard time about eating delicious, magnificent bread, the staff of life, then death would be all that person deserved and all they'd get

Mmm mmm, good bread...really good!!

*three weeks pass*

*I use the remainder of the loaf to bowl a strike at the bowling alley*

I haven't purchased a loaf of bread in probably 5-6 years, but bought WHITE BREAD this week and have had toast every morning and MY GOD. This shit is so good.

yeah white bread really is the best. I worked at a bakery in high school, and we would slice up samples for customers. most customers wanted to try the 'apple scrapple' or some crazy thing, but the real bread heads understood that a warm slice of white bread with butter is the best.

we basically got wiped out by the low-carb diet craze though. the owner tried to save things by offering 'low carb bread', which actually tasted ok but c'mon just eat some real bread you savages.

shame

Americans have trouble just eating a reasonable amount of something so we have to imbue the thing with sin and banish it altogether instead.
