I used to make my own French bread (with a bread machine), using yeast, a little sugar, egg whites and bread flour. That took some preparation, even with the machine. I admit I've gotten lazy and buy the bread from a bakery. So laziness may play a part in not having the tasty food we used to enjoy.

It’s not laziness. Half of the married pair used to service the home and the family. Now that half has to work and pay bills and deal with what amounts to a family business. The other part is to buy real ingredients may make a cake cost $30 just for the makings.
