Ashame cause he could be making some good money, but he's trying to run before he can walk. Very common sadly. I started a pressure washing business as a teenager, then people started asking me to clean roofs. I did ok for myself, but reached a plateau. Then I realized the potential in going to roofing full time, along with gutter installation. Never in a million years did I think I'd own a roofing company, I had zero experience when I started it, but now we do 4-5 roofs a week 10 months a year. It's not cause I was smart, but because I listened to what the market was telling me and made the necessary changes.

Health food only works if you eat it constantly on a regular basis. No matter how health the bread is, if you can only afford to eat it 5-6 times a year, it’s not really impacting your health that much.

Yes, one of the challenges with gluten free items is that some of the other ingredients are not that "healthy", Sometimes, it's best to train one's self not to eat certain foods at all.

Since most people are not identified correctly, they don't realize that some of their autoimmune issues are caused by food sensitivity.

Unfortunately they can only help so much considering the cost to make, ship and buy organic product is way higher than non organic, which is why factories and big industry doesn’t try to keep things organic it’s hard and cost more. Obviously that price has to be passed on to the plate. Eating healthy isn’t eating just organic foods or things like their bread it’s making sure your diet is balanced with everything you personally need. Obviously the fresher and less preservatives the better a product will be but you have to just accept that it costs more to make it that way.

This guy just came off as a salesman and not an entrepreneur. He clearly likes to dominate conversations and hear himself talk, to the point his wife just smiles and nods her head. I agree they need a better business model, significantly lower the cost of CAC, lower the cost of production, and create better packaging and marketing catch phrases, then $4.2 milliion in sales projected for 2021 actually sounds impressive. And at the end, this guy will continue to lose money and drag his wife with him. He needs to shut up. LIsten to the Sharks' advice. Drop the ego.

It still may have had wheat in it, so it still has gluten. Again with a Paleo diet, it has to have no grains, so all the other grains you mentioned are not in this bread. If one has auto immune conditions one has to have no grains.
