>Bread baked from my own grains.
You are not getting all the bugs out of your own grains. Unless you've bathed them with pesticides (and you don't seem like the type), you've got some weevil eggs, mites, and other tiny crawlies that are hard/impossible to see with the naked eye on your flour. If you store your flour for any length of time, these little guys have likely had a chance to multiply.
You'd probably actually be healthier being less neurotic and a little further up the purity spiral. Incidental consumption of bugs is unavoidable, and as I've said elsewhere - eating tiny amounts of a dye that's extracted in water from filtered bug parts is light years away from eating pure ground bug flour like the WEF wants. Hell at that point the bug carcasses in the ground that are making their way into your plants probably have some of the same level of bug chemical extract. But certainly the bug carcass levels in your home-processed grains are at higher ppm than whatever cochineal extract is in a box of fucking nerds. And again, it's not a bad thing - please don't freak out and stop eating grains.
Yea I kinda figured. Idk though, if you can grow an acre of wheat (20-40 bushels depending on the year, organic, etc.), that's enough to make a fuckton of bread. Still gonna come with some bugs/bug parts.

Specifically what makes it fake is the amount of work required to grow, reap, thresh, and mill your own grain. It doesn't just come off the vine like a pumpkin. There's a reason you've never in your life heard of someone going "I have a garden in my backyard, I'm going to grow wheat and make bread with it!"
Well, they might, until the grain grows and they go "uhh... what do I do now?"
Nobody's actually growing their own 'hobby grain' lol.

This is the internet era man - of course someone's not only doing it, but they're filming it (don't forget to like and subscribe!). If I had Instagram I could probably find half naked chicks harvesting/milling their own wheat half naked.
Anyway thanks for prompting me to look it up.

I actually hadn't heard of it up to this point, but I was like "I fucking bet someone has a whole YouTube vid of them doing just that." lmao
