A loaf of Bread

In modern civilization, a loaf of bread has been consumed by people without giving a second thought about the men and women involved, the hard work, and science behind the creation of this everyday staple.Gone are the days when every family baked their own bread and the event of “ Breaking Bread” was special.The Loaf which had its own individuality has been replaced by mass produced identical clones of the Master Loaf. Each sliced approximately to 10 mm thickness( Well most of them atleast)As a team, we will look at a modern day loaf of bread – Sourdough to be precise, as a medium for change, an event to celebrate and get together.

The Loaf of Bread Triangle -TLOBT

Political and Economical• Growing use of Genetically modified organisms in the

preparation of bread. Last longer but less nutrition.• Poverty and starvation still affect most of the 3rd world

countries. Need to make accessible to the people basic means to be able to make their own bread. ( Indian breads –Roti, does not need sophisticated ovens to cook.)

Solution- Use a Loaf of bread as a mark of protest against the use of

GMO’s in bread.Badges and wrist bands = The LOVE BREAD Movement will raise

money to help people in other countries who are affected by starvation.

Social• Breaking bread events which encourages people to get

together and eat in a communal setting.• No Phones, laptops or tablets allowed.• A hour of your live a month, meeting real people, talking face

to face, helping the preparation of bread. Potential for people to get time to give back to the community by volunteering.

• Partnerships with local Soup kitchens and Volunteer organizations.

Personal• The Art of bread making involves the physical activity of

kneading the dough. Partner with Occupational therapy institutions to understand how this stage of the bread making can be used for strengthening a persons muscles. This can be used for kids who have muscular disorders and also people who are coming out of surgery for physical therapy.

Personal• Sourdough bread as a self- defence mechanism.Old bread can

be kept handy in the kitchen to be used to attack intruders.• Partner with Self defence equipment makers to promote this

handy device.
