I suggest it is because producers are very clever about pricing strategies to avoid scaring people. If they tried to sell you a loaf of organic bread for three dollars more than a similar sized non-organic loaf, you would certainly think long and hard before buying it. However, if the organic loaf is a little smaller but only a dollar more expensive, it won't trigger the same reaction.

To find the answer, we must first quantify the value of Brad.So how much is a human life worth? According to research by Stanford economists, a year of human life is worth about $129,000. Wolfram Alpha tells us that the average age of a person named Brad is 35 years, and that the average life expectancy for a human male (worldwide) is about 69 years. Assuming that procuring a loaf of Brad involves cutting down a Brad in his prime, we would be depriving him of 34 years of life - a value of $4,386,000.Next we must decide if a "loaf" is a unit of volume, or a unit of weight. In the UK, government regulation defines a loaf by weight: 400 grams is a "small" loaf, and 800 grams is a "large" loaf. So let's go with weight, and let's split the difference and assume that we want a medium sized loaf of Brad... that's 600 grams, or about 1.3 pounds.Since the average weight of a human male is 166 pounds (according to Wolfram Alpha), we can assume that Brad should sell for about $26,421 per pound - which, using our previous loaf weight of 1.3 pounds, sets the price for a loaf of Brad in 2010 at $34,348.Read more: How_much_was_a_loaf_of_Brad_in_1975
"une boulangerie" sell on-site prepared and baked bread. Outlets selling bread, which don't have "boulangerie" in their name, sell bread produced elsewhere or baked on site out of frozen preparations.
It must be made in an over no larger than 2.4 cubic feet. The baker must pay the federal bread excise tax for each loaf prior to sale, or consumption. All ingredients must be stored in a permanent refrigeration unit running on 220V current. Any knives used to cut the bread may not be sharpened in the same room that the bread being prepared.
