I’ve always told people that breads and pastas would bind up their guts, but I never had a simple way to explain it.

And then this came to me….

What is the recipe for bread?

• 4 cups flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tbsp baking soda
• 1½ cups water
• 2 tsp vinegar (cider or white)

What is the recipe for paper mache glue?

• Water
• Flour

Eating bread and pasta is basically making paper mache glue in your gut.

Ew.
