You have to give poor Congressman Wexler a break and keep his statements in context. I mean, this is a guy who probably wakes up every morning and thinks that breakfast is an affront to all Jewish Americans because the toast isn't made from unleavened bread.

Besides, unleavened bread is required only during Pesach. "Enriched bread" can't be eaten with meat at all (when not eaten with meat it's okay). When is the "official Jewish community" going to turn its attention from "women's reproductive choice" to a real Jewish issue like enriched bread?
