      Most foods are not “bad” for you unless you eat too much of them. Bread, rice and pasta are forms of carbohydrate which is the main type of food we need for energy. In gerenal the more processed the food is the less nutritional value it has. I think everyone should try to not eat too much of any one thing, and if you can you should avoid the heavily processed breads like the fluffy mass produced types.

      It’s not that bread is bad for you, it’s just that it has a high content of carbohydrates, and therefore too much of it would make it bad for you
