📣 TRUTH DROP
Wheat isn’t the real problem. The problem is that industrial food systems stripped it of soul, fermented wisdom, and digestibility. Ancient cultures always prepped grains through sprouting, soaking, or fermenting. But the modern food machine chose speed over sanctity. Sourdough reclaims the timeline—breaking down gluten, neutralizing phytic acid, and turning “cake” into chemistry with purpose. And let’s not forget: chocolate was a ritual, not a reward.
🧽 CLOSING CLEANUP
