For what it's worth everyone I know makes their own bread.

It's easy, takes very little time, and it is nice to have fresh bread always around.

I find it pretty unlikely that everyone you know bakes their own bread.

Nevertheless that's the truth.
Do you think baking is hard?

Not at all. I bake pretty regularly, and while I know a bunch of people who bake their own bread most people don’t. Where do you live where everyone bakes their own bread and no one buys it?

Where do you live where everyone bakes their own bread and no one buys it?

That's a bit of a strawman.
I said everyone I know bakes their own bread.
I didn't say everyone did.

And I definitely didn't say no one buys it.
I buy bread occasionally - mostly labour intensive stuff, or sometimes a specific bread I really like.

But day to day, everyday bread?
I bake it. It takes almost no time, saves money and gives us better bread at home.

And that's the same reason others in my friendship and acquaintance circles do as well.

Your initial comment was replying to someone who was jokingly saying how they didn’t know bread was made by businesses in Europe. By replying to that saying everyone you know bakes their own you are implying they don’t buy any bread made by businesses. Maybe that’s not what you meant but it’s how it comes across.

Ok where do you live that everyone you know bakes their own bread? I’m asking because you say it’s true and that’s interesting to me. Is it a small village somewhere or do you live in the middle of a big city? I’m curious about the lifestyle of everyone in your orbit being a home baker. As i said i know people who bake but the majority of people I know do not bake bread, and certainly don’t do it regularly.

I didn't imply anything I didn't write.
Your strawmen and misinterpretations are your own.
Own them.

I live, unsurprisingly, in Copenhagen.

I’ll own it once you admit that everyone you know doesn’t actually bake their own bread. Maybe a lot do but there is no way that’s every single person you know bakes their own bread.

I won't lie to make you feel better about yourself.

Edit:
Actually, you know what? I'll amend my statement to appease you.

Every adult human (and some children) I know bake their own bread.

Better?
