Even public schools in my area have the option of swapping the main course for a PBJ. Does your school not offer this? Or the option to bring lunch from home? Just curious.
PBJ ............. ?
Okay. Does anyone say
PBH? I much prefer honey. And is a PBJ usually
on white bread? Maybe that's my prob. For me it's whole wheat or
forget it.
I've never understood the popularity of white bread.
Of course, communion hosts are a different matter.
They're "exceptional" - set apart - consecrated. One might expect that someone
like me who has utter disregard for white bread can have such a reversal of
regards for the matter of the Blessed Sacrament. Maybe someone else can
explain this because I can't. And I should be able to. Any help out there?
Whole wheat bread is definitely healthier eating than white bread, but I have
always had suspicions when hosts at Mass are not white, but tan or spotted,
like grainy from the wheat germ in whole wheat. The wheat germ is the most
nutritious part of the grain but it makes communion hosts look, well, somehow
wrong. Can anyone explain this for me?
Whether the flour used is whole wheat flour or bleached, stripped, beaten and
artificially 'enriched' with some of the vitamins that were stripped shouldn't
make any difference in the Sacrament, no? I mean, wheat is wheat, and
whole wheat is more wheat-ness than bleached, stripped and beaten is.
