Think about a hot loaf of bread fresh out of the oven. There’s a lot going on with that loaf. On one level, it’s a literal food that’s been created through chemical processes. A delicious — your mouth might be watering right now — form of sustenance. But there’s also more to it than that. There’s something about bread, the so-called staff of life, …
