Well if you wrote a paper on it in culinary school then I'm sure you know that's not exactly true. That's a very Eurocentric perspective. As stated in this video majority of the world did not rely on wheat as their primary food source. So no, bread is not the reason I am alive, nor is it part of my diet today.

@@R.B.90 I agree with you that bread is not the reason we are alive today, but I think that Matt Patt’s point in the video, which I don’t completely agree with, is that, whichever societies have the bread, have the power, which would actually correlate with the West consistently controlling the world since Rome (although the Muslim world did almost take that away, but they more or less forever lost their chance at Poitiers in 732, where their invasion of Europe was stopped by Charles Martel). However, I do think that this correlation between bread and power is either, just that, purely correlation, or, that it is just one of many things that determines which societies end up on top.

[@crocadilian]

I couldn't help but notice Matt literally skipping South Asia and Russia. India is literally the 8th largest exporter of wheat, and north Indian Vedic civilisation came to be around the Ganges because of the wheat. Russia is the largest exporter of wheat, and bread played a key role in the Communism aspect of Russia's history. Lenin famously promised the Russians for some bread, land and peace.

It's from Jean Jaques Rousseau's book series 'Confessions' which were written in 1765, before Marie Antionette arrived in France (she would have been nine). Rousseau wrote At length I remembered the last resort of a great princess who, when told that the peasants had no bread, replied: "Then let them eat brioches." The great princess mentioned was probably meant to be Maria Theresa, wife of Louis XIV, but is probably Rousseau's invention, it being the sort of anti-royalist sentiment of 'that's the kind of thing they say'. There is no contemporary attribution to Marie Antionette - the first mention of it being her being in Alphonse Karr's Les Guêpes in 1843. Alexander Dumas, in 1853, also attributes the phrase to a courtier rather than the queen.

7:55 CORRECTION: MatPat says at this moment that Xerxes invaded Greece in the year 300. This is wrong as he actually invaded around 480BC. The number 300 refers to the 300 Spartans that courageously fought (and almost won) against the Persians in the Battle of Thermopylae.

[@wscamel226]

If Persians invaded Greece in the year 480BC Then why didn't spartans fought Persians until 180 years later??

[@cena803]

​@wscamel226 They didn't. The Greco-Persian Wars took place between roughly 492-479. Persia didnt really exist come 300 BC, it was conquered by Alexander the Great in 330 BC and by 300 BC its lands would largely be apart of the diadochi successor states following Alexander's death. The Seleucid Empire was founded in 312 BC, lasted until 64 BC when it was conquered itself.

[@Emmet126]

And Aeneas was a trojan who survived the trojan war, going on to found the race of Romans. I don't think he was ever considered Persian

I once heard that "grass domesticated people". People shaped their entire lives to making grass, then wheat, grow and grow well. To protect it from predators like mice and rabbits, cure it of disease, give it water when it's thirsty, shelter it when its cold, and replant it when it dies. The bond between wheat and people has always been fascinating to me. And now this... THIS is what I call COOL food for thought!

There's plenty of history channels on youtube if you're interested!

A key correction: Wheat is a modern invention (relatively speaking). The ancient Egyptians farmed kamut / khorsan to make bread and imo it tastes better than wheat. It's also healthier. Do yourself a favor and bake yourself some kamut bread at home sometime. It's really good. Also, potato was key to historic civilization in South America. Maybe it couldn't be transferred the same way as grains, but it grows just about anywhere making it easy to farm in a difficult to get to place, perfect for a civilization hidden in the mountains. In Africa, it's cassava.

[@Lord_Of_Aether]

Unfortunately, cassava is from South America, and couldn't be grown in Africa until the Columbian Exchange.

[@Mardikuz]

as a Brazilian, I can confirm that cassava is our wheat and it can be used to make gluten-free breads and many recipes that use it's starch or not

[@KZCOC]

@JenniferSemaman-yi5we nah, its just intelligent conversing

[@httydmrdragon1409]

I think for the sake of consistency, keeping it simple It was okay to call it this way Though there is no harm in clarifyng

Cassava is native to South America, Yams are native to Africa, Asia and South America, Taro is native to South and South East Asia but humans spread it to Polynesia and Africa thousands of years ago long long before Cassava
