When I bought two hundred pounds of wheat over the course of a couple 
of months, everyone I knew thought I was crazy. But I made six loaves 
of bread yesterday at an average cost of about 50 cents a loaf. And 
that's real bread, not the white totally nutritionless sponge you buy 
at the grocery store (which is what that woman in Texas is getting if 
she's paying $1.09 a loaf).

Even so, the wheat cost twice what it did when I bought the last big 
batch of it a couple of years ago.
