There! I said it. Give me a real, scratch made bakery, please.
My house.

Really, where else do you find one?

Even if you do, without knowing the owner/manager personally, can you really be sure that they are using real flour, instead that whittled down, bleached, "enriched" (actually impoverished) crap that Americans call "carbohydrates" nowadays?

Agreed! Although you can find some supermarkets that produce some quality bakery items. Kroger makes its cookies with all butter. And the traditional stuff like eggs, vanilla, flour, salt, etc.

You have to ask for ingredient list. Besides, I know when something is made with food coloring, or artificial fats, or artificial eggs, or fillers. I can taste it.

Finding one is difficult. Determining the quality is done by the taste test.

Crappy products from supermarkets do not change the issue.

I agree - so overpriced! That's why when I do go to Publix, my shopping cart is 99% BOGOS!

But they do have the BEST ice cream flavor: Chocolate Trinity!

That is most certainly NOT what I wrote.

What I wrote was: "If you think Nellies eggs are good, then you haven't tried Vital Farms Organic eggs. Best supermarket eggs ever."

If you don't like my egg recommendation, you are free to ignore it. Personally I love receiving product recommendations and am eager to go try anything out to see if it’s better!
Apparently you are too closed minded to accept a product recommendation.
Too bad.

That in-store "bakery" is nothing more than a front for a large-scale commercial operation that produces baked goods full of artificial ingredients, artificial colors and God knows what else. Their Cuban bread isn't Cuban bread. Their Italian bread isn't Italian bread. Their scones are not scones. Their biscuits aren't biscuits. Their cakes are a Frankenfood. Their naan bread is a joke. Their pies are a canker on the body social. Their cookies are as tasty as a paper bag.

If you are comparing the "baked goods" at Publix to the "baked goods" at Winn-Dixie, then yes, the "baked goods" at Publix are better. That is like saying throat cancer is better than colon cancer. One of them may be slightly less unpleasant, but both of them will kill you.

I have no idea whether you know anything about bread, pastry, cookies or scones, but if you did, you would have nothing good to say about the Publix bakery.

The people I see buying at the Publix bakery are those with no taste buds: the very old or the very young.


Bon appetit!
Your Honor, I present Exhibit A (above).

And by the way, I rotate through the different egg brands as they go on sale at different stores. Nellie's, Handsome Brook, Pete's, Kroger Simple Truth (via Lucky's) and other store-brand conventional and cage-free and organic, England's Best, the "Fresh from Florida" ones Publix was selling partnering with an Orlando charity, etc.
I can't remember if I've tried Vital Farm. But #TriggerWarning, I'm good with regular store-label conventional most of the time. :-)

Besides, another iteration of this same topic will be created within three or four months and the cycle can start all over again!
True. I'd rather ad to an existing thread than create a new one. On some forums, the rule is to search first before creating a new thread. Fail to do that and you're shamed.

Do they have bakery products under the "Simple Truth" label that you are thinking about?I don't see butter on their ingredients list for chocolate chip cookies as one example. Their fat is partially hydrogenated soybean or cottonseed oil. "Natural and artificial flavors" could literally be anything as it is not regulated. Regardless of what chemicals are added, the sugar is doing far more damage anyway. Publix has some iffy stuff in theirs, but no "partially hydrogenated" stuff. Isn't that trans-fat?
