Fitness Romance SagaTasting! Weight Watchers Multi-Grain Bread
January 29th, 2011 • 20 Comments | Leave a Comment »
What’s small, rubbery, and fit for a toy kitchen? I totally get why Weight Watcher’s Multi-Grain Bread is kinda tiny – it’s that whole portion control philosophy. But rubbery-chewy bread? What the hell is that about?
The label boasts the ancient grain ingredients that are amaranth, kamut, spelt and quinoa, yet I found no tasty or visually impressive evidence of that compared to other multi-grain breads. There were just some rogue, nutty seeds here and there. Yet despite the rubbery-ness, you can pretty much adapt to the bread and keep on chewing without complaint.
But wait! It turns out what we’re really dealing with here is a piece of sh!t. This extra small, overpriced loaf of bread also contains the horrific artificial sweetener that is Acesulfame Potassium. Shame on you Weight Watchers! If you’re gonna promote fitness and health, don’t try to feed your peoples an ingredient that is rumored to be carcinogenic (aka, it might cause cancer).
Say WHAT!?
I’m bringing this Taste Test to a screeching halt. I doesn’t matter if you think the bread is good. Don’t feed it to your food trap. Weight Watcher’s Multi-Grain Bread is worse than discovering a pimple on your butt cheek during swimsuit season.

This is why I just stick to the Ezekiel 4:9 bread. Pretty much all the bread out there is total crap.

HAHA, I loved the review. The pimple on the ass really summed it up well. Good job, as always. Cheers, Rick

I hate that weight watchers charges so much for their food and then on top of that the majority of them are NASTY! Your better off getting the Sara Lee Whole Wheat Bread…Each slice is worth 45 calories..POW!!!

Wow! Why train people to need “sweet” in thier bread? “Real” bread needs a bit of sugar for the yeast to do its thing, but there is no reason to add artificial sweetener.
I will scrub this out of my pantry and do an acne scrub on my booty just to be safe.

I do not like Weight Watchers.
I am skupitious of them yanking name brand bread off the assembly line of some factory and slapping their own label on it. Then slapping us in the face with an extra forty dolla charge. However.
I hate all artificial sweeteners.
BOOM.
No reason to try their bread.

I’m weary (and wary) of all the fake foods out there these days.

For the same nutritional values and cost, you can get Alvarado Street Bakery’s Essential Flax Seed Bread. No artificial sweetners in there. Not all my friends and family like the taste, but I really do!

Not the pimple on the BUTT during bathing suit season. That bread really must suck.
