It brings order to your fridge; with­out the bread’s stern but fair con­fines, what would keep your deli meats in line? Or your peanut but­ter and jelly?

You’d be pound­ing fist­fuls of var­i­ous meats into your maw and chug­ging Grey Poupon just to feel some­thing. Bread fixes all that and keeps your food safe and eas­ily trans­portable.
