It is also well established that neither Catholic nor Orthodox Christians believe a consecrated host is a piece of bread.

I am an Orthodox Christian and it is a piece of bread. A piece of bread with the real presence of Christ, but nonetheless a piece of bread. Just as Christ was also both divine and human.

If it's bread "with the Real Presence", it's not bread: bread is a mixture of flour, water and some other ingredients. The Eucharist ceases to be "bread" at consecration.
