They meant jobs important to society, bakers would probably be near the top of that list

Why would bakers be near the top of that list? Isn’t diabetes and obesity the top health problem around the world?

Bread has been a staple in most diets for millennia

Why is that relevant? People have not had access to excess calories until the last 100 years.
