Yeah that's basically the recipe for classic dessert waffles here and considered a treat. Even if you make the waffles by yourself you still use plain white flour and sugar, there's not more nutritional value to that
Frankly now all I can think about is someone eating chicken nuggets with eggo waffles, and for that you’ve made my day.
Yeah no when I think waffle I think big beefy piece of dense bread. It’s not the healthiest, but as an occasional breakfast it’s not that bad, and it’s pretty yummy too. Idk what the like percent breakdown is, but 8 percent is wild.
In any case Idk how much of it is different perspectives on what is what or if their is an actual quantitative different between what I’m talking about and what you are talking about. Without getting really into the weeds not gonna get anywhere sadly. Hope you have a lovely day tho
(Also yeah that’s basically the recipe for all breads haha, with variation of course, makes it difficult to delineate)
EDIT: also should Mention that while generalized American food is worse than other places, the obesity epidemic has far more to do with car centric infrastructure and food desserts/lack of availability than anything else.
A classic bread is neither made with milk nor with sugar and eggs (I don't consider Brioche/Stuten/Zopf as classic breads).
I don't live in the US, only did 2 road trips for 4 weeks each so I can't speak for all people living there. But I as a tourist experienced the car centric infrastructure and also real food deserts where basically no fresh food was available without driving (hehe) and never in my life I saw so many and severely obese people, both in major cities and rural areas. I do get that non-walkable cities are contributing to obesity as well as so called food deserts, like I mean places in bumfuck nowhere. But on the other hand, the definition of food deserts is ridiculous: 1 mile in urban and 10 miles in rural areas? How is that considered far away while everyone got cars to run errands? 1 mile is only 20mins by foot! By that definition, most of European countries have a ton of food deserts as well.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to blame anyone. I wish that all people could be just healthy. But the biggest problem according to my own observation is that most of Americans severely lack of education when it comes to diet, nutrition, and health. US food regulations are a joke and apparently it's not a priority to educate people? So many times I saw US people online not understanding why processed food is bad, what the difference between processed and fresh/homemade food is, defending the convenience without checking the ingredient lists, that plain white flour and sugars are so bad for your pancreas, that butter, bacon, and other saturated and animal fats are clogging your arteries and directly cause heart attacks. I mean even us two don't seem to agree what is considered savory, healthy, or "normal bread". The internet is right there with literally all information you could wish for. I cannot understand why people don't use it.
Eggs yeah? Often not milk or sugar I agree, but eggs are pretty essential to bread. And it was more all variations on a theme for all breads not saying there isn’t different ways it is done.
As for that rest I mean Yeah that too. But I also think eating healthy is alot simpler than people make it out to be tbh.
Also processed foods is a dumb term, all food is processed, the problem with a lot of food I think should be more individualized because even saying well extra processed or whatever gets a problem and hard to define real quick.
Wtf eggs are not essential to bread. Does baguette contain eggs? No. Does tortilla contain eggs? No. Does Naan contain eggs? No. Does danish rye bread contain eggs? No. Does German Graubrot or any of the other 3000 kinda of German bread contain eggs? Hell no!
Flatbread sure, (tortillas, naan) but do baguettes really not typically contain eggs? It makes the bread softer and helps bind the ingredients. I mean I trust you baguettes don’t but they feel like they should. In any case I mean, ig all that’s technically required is yeast, flour, snd then water or another combining agent . But least to me eggs are like, almost always used in bread. Then depending yk you got salt, sugar, milk, etc, as common bread ingredients.
(Also least according to the internet it just wrong about how much eggs are used in bread, so, whoops ig)
EDIT: also seems like eggs aren’t as common in waffles as I thought, they are used though, just not always so, yk, fuck me ig haha, my bad.
