ANNELIES,
was the bread meant for humans to eat?
YES
was the mould meant for some kind of species to be eaten?
NO
Is it relevant where the baker lives?
YES
is it dangerous to eat your bread after three days,
THIS BREAD - YES
because of the ingredient people would realize that the bread is too old to be eaten?
WRONG LINE |

TORGEIR,
So, he wants the bread to go bad in three days, and that's the whole idea behind the adding of the ingredient?
CORRECT
Is the point that he wants people who don't eat the bread in 3 days to come back and buy new bread instead of continuing to eat the old, thus increasing the baker's sales?
NO
Would it work if the bread, instead of becoming mouldy, just changed taste in 3 days, a taste so horrible that no-one would eat it?
MAYBE |

Does this certain baker use the ingredient in all bread that he bakes?
Or just certain kinds of bread?
Are there any other relevant ingredients in the bread?
Are the buyers of the bread all the same kind of people? |

Is the bread given away (at no cost to the consumer)?
Is it to be used for a specific purpose?
Any religious cermonies/rites involved? |

is he trying to damage someone else's reputation? i.e. his "superior" (assuming there was someone higher in rank that directed him to produce the bread) offended him in some way, and his retaliation was to produce this bread, which was the superior's "gift to the poor", perhaps to further his own ends rather than simply a magnanimous gesture...? (convoluted thought, i know... ) In other words, was the baker trying to "thwart" the other's "plan"? |

Does the baker know who will be getting the bread?
Does he think someone will be eating the bread?
Is it assumed that the bread will be eaten within 3 days of baking?
Do the people who get the bread require that he have only a 3 day usable life? |

Were the people that were eating the bread after 3 days breaking the law in some way? Acting unethical?
Was the baker acting unethical?
Was the baker trying to solve something but doing this?
Would you call the outcome of this whole experiment:
- beneficial to the baker?
- beneficial to the community? |

Was this time of famine? Was the food being rationed?
Would it help to find out which country this happened in? If so, was it in Europe? Americas? Asia? |

Was he trying to punish the people who hoarded bread? |

***** SPOILER ****
Lynne solved this and we lost part of the thread.
This happened in Tasmania in a penal colony in the 19th century. Prisoners trying to escape into the huge wilderness that surrounded the prison would often hoard their daily bread ration to survive the journey. Making the bread go moldy quickly ensured that the bread was inedible and they would not have enough food with which to escape.
Thanks to all who participated. |
