Square bread sliced is for toasts, best to put in a toaster and with best thicccess to fit in it.
Unsliced bread is best for fresh sandwiches, with crunchy crust and soft middle. Too bad it Goes stale way faster than Square bread. Yet nothing feels better than munching on a freshly cut, still warm round loaf and putting some smoked ham with lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. And The crust... Gotta love the crust man.

The cost-saving effects of mass production outweigh the additional cost of transport. This would not be possible with inefficient round bread.
Also, of course, there will be a point of balance between being too centralized and too disperse. In either scenario, square bread is the more efficient, and thus logical, choice.

No, it doesn't you illogical half-human. Look at the huge cost of installing and updating the interstate highway system in the 20th and 21st century United States. Almost all of the damage caused to those roadways was caused by heavy trucks, but the trucking industry only paid about half that in taxes and other fees. So that, along with another 20% from the general pool, was subsidized by the public (not to mention they would have had to pay a lot more if the federal government couldn't just take the needed lands via eminent domain). If trucks had cost even two times as much to move (and it's a lot higher), long haul trucking would have died long before God-Emperor Trump declared war on the Andorians in order to build a harem of blue-skinned women who could make him sandwiches with round slices of bread.

False. There are numerous flaws in your reasoning.
First, the federal government of the USA spends about $41 billion per year maintaining the interstate system. However, in 2014, there were 170 trillion vehicle-miles driven by transport trucks. Even if all of the cost of the interstate system was caused by these trucks, which is a dubious claim itself, that amounts to a cost of $0.00024 per vehicle-mile, or about a quarter of a tenth of a cent. The simple cost of fuel for a mile of transport dwarfs this easily.
Second, you focus only on one part of the transport system. Your argument excludes shipping bread by rail and cargo ship.
Third, your attempt to elicit an emotion response from me by insulting me is both indicative of a lack of reasoning capability as well as futile.
Your argument is narrow, misleading, mathematically incorrect, and thus wrong.

>>723590137
Spock, your human half is showing in your adherence to illogical premises.
The federal government's transportation fund only covered a tiny fraction of the costs. Even studies 20 years prior to the date you chose (2014) concluded that the total cost of "pure" subsidies of ground vehicles in the U.S. ranged from 300 to 935 billion USD. Accounting for even modest inflation, and considering that those analyses ignore hidden costs like those imposed by eminent domain, a modest estimate is more than a trillion dollars per year.
Your analysis of the cost per vehicle mile is also based on flawed premises, because the number of miles driven is irrelevant. We're not comparing two different transportation systems carrying loads of bread the same distance. We're comparing the costs of the current system, with scrapping the current system and replacing it with more local models.
You are correct that this does not account for bread shipped via other means, like rail, ship, or plane; but admitting there are additional costs on top of the ground vehicle subsidies, while very Vulcan of you, harms your position, rather than supports it.

The quality of bread isn't under debate, only its shape. Even stale bread is still edible. Purely as a form of nutrition, square bread is the more cost effective to manufacture centrally and transport. Its pleasantness to consume is irrelevant.
Trucks are indeed damaging to the world's infrastructure. However, to use this small additional cost as an argument against the cost effectiveness of shipping bread is both narrow-minded and illogical.

Incorrect. To compare the costs of any transport system, we must understand that this cost is a product of distance. Thus, the cost of a vehicle-mile is an appropriate calculation. Also note that this calculation was done as a way of dispelling the illogical claim that any form of transport is inherantly cost prohibitive because of its subsidized nature. An estimate of this subsidy must be made to show that it is insignificant.
You are correct that I have admitted the existence of costs of transport, but this is a meaningless fact to point out. All things have costs. We are not discussing the existence of costs, but instead the comparison of cost reduction by manufacturing bread centrally and the cost acceleration of increased shipping distance.
Also note that even "more local models" will involve some form of shipping. The suitability of square bread to be more efficiently shipped is true even over short distances. Thus, though your argument is clever in its attempt to misdirect the overall discussion, it is arguing a point that has no relevance to the bread-shape question posed. It is therefore illogical.

Do not confuse quality with taste. You are correct in terms of its flavour quality. Its nutritional quality, however, is not correlated to the localness of the bread.
As bread is food, and its primary purpose is for sustaining life, a bread that more cost effectively does this while sacrificing taste is a logical trade off. Thus, the desirability for bread to be tasty is irrelevant.
>>
>>723593533
You are persistently holding on to an illogical position. Only aggregate cost is relevant. Cost per vehicle mile is irrelevant, since we are discussing shortening or eliminating the supply chain.
You are correct that local production will involve some shipping costs, but there are few studies showing the alternative costs of a more local model. Since we lack sufficient information, it would be illogical to jump to a conclusion.
And you are arguing that flavor and preference is irrelevant, which is also flawed reasoning. Simple things like good, round bread have significant correlations with happiness, and morale. Which in turn reduces civil strife and the chance of rebellion.

>>723594484
The trade is not worth the cost. If one were only concerned with sustaining their life, then a nutritional shake would be more practical. Pursuing bread specifically in order to sustain ones life implies a certain degree of concern for the mechanism by which that life is sustained. It would be inconsistent to discard such a concern after already choosing the less efficient form of sustenance.

No, we were discussing the subsidized nature of the transportation industry. A vehicle-mile cost analysis shows this subsidy to be a small fraction of the actual cost.
You are misleading here again. I am not comparing the costs of highly-centralized or highly-localized production systems. I am arguing that as all production systems involve some form of distribution, and that square bread would lower distribution costs, it logically follows that square bread would lower the costs of all production systems, regardless of their nature.
Correlations with happiness is also irrelevant. As happiness is an emotional construct it is, by definition, illogical. Using bread to reduce civil strife and rebellion is a misuse of resources. Simply achieving Kolinahr would eliminate these entirely.

A trillion dollars may be pocket change in the Federation, but in 2014 it was a major cost, no matter how you divide it. You are using cost per mile to hide the artificially low total, which is not only inaccurate but deliberately obfuscated, suggesting an emotional rather than a logical response
And numerous species have not achieved Kolinahr, nor can be we expect them to in the immediate future. See your captain's species, for an extreme example. Since happiness among humans not only reduces problems but actually increases productivity, it is a logical goal for the foreseeable future.

Your argument is entirely correct. Any form of solid bread is certainly the more inefficient method of nutrition compared to others. Were we able to liquefy bread and transport it by pipeline, then inject it intravenously this would be more efficient. Indeed, as you suggested, any form of bread is highly inefficient as a nutritional source compared to other foods. This argument could continue until a pure nutritional type of fuel was created in a tabular format that dissolves on the tongue, achieving very high levels of nutritional efficiency.
However, your argument is as misleading as it is correct. The question posed was not about bread's suitability as a food compared to others, but as a comparison between two bread shapes. As this was the original question, these are the boundaries within which our discussion must occur. Thus the only two options that can be argued are either round bread or square bread. From a practicality perspective, square bread is better.

You are missing my point. I am not arguing that it is an inefficient form of sustenance, that is my premise. My conclusion is that since choosing bread is already inefficient, it would be more logical to choose the type of bread that yields the highest amount of pleasure for its consumers.

I made no attempt to mislead. The absolute cost of this per-mile calculation is itself misleading, but my argument was that this is a small fraction of the total cost of a mile of shipping. This shows that as a percentage, the government's "subsidy" is small. Absolute values are of no concern. Proportions are the more meaningful calculation.
You argue for happiness as a practical measure of impact. Even were this true, the happiness gained from bread is insignificant to the nutritional impact of that bread. Thus using bread as a happiness tool instead of a nutritional tool is wasteful. Using any tool for a purpose best suited to another tool when both are available is illogical.

And I can argue the same. You claim that using bread as a primarily nutritional tool is flawed because there are better nutritional tools out there. Then by this logic it is also a poor choice as a pleasure tool, as there are many more effective ways of attaining pleasure other than via bread. Your argument falls in on itself.

You used an incorrect total cost to generate a per mile cost, and have been persisting in using that artificially low per mile number even though the total cost has been correct. And a more direct way to compare the total cost of subsidies would be to compare the US$1 trillion estimate of "true" subsidies to ground vehicles with the total cost of the private industry. Comparing a false cost per miles to nothing is no comparison at all.
And the nutritional impact is irrelevant, in an industrial society with excess food capacity, like the U.S. in the 21st century. Any shortages are logistical and social challenges, not due to limited supply. In those circumstances, the value gained from intangibles like satisfaction is most important.

If you cook the bread wrong it could be made of the same stuff and suck. Problem with square bread is that the corners are thin which over cool and that area of the bread becomes tougher and drier, which inevitably dries out the rest of the bread.
Round bread is better tasting.

And these social challenges include poverty. Were the cost of staples such as bread to be reduced by focusing on manufacturing square bread, it would in turn make the food itself more available, thus reducing these shortages.
Also, you assume that we are only discussing individuals of an affluent first-world country. The scope should be extended to the entire Earth as food shortages are a well-known global issue. You must expand your thinking.

>>723598657
You are showing a poor grasp of human sociodynamics. Poverty cannot be solved by reducing the cost of a simple staple. Its manifold causes are wealth disparity, logistical issues, mental health concerns, and many other factors. The unit cost is trivial.
You are correct that poverty is a global problem and different factors must be considered when regarding less affluent nations, but we have been talking about a single nation in the distant past (20/21C U.S.). To become truly logical, you must discipline your mind and focus on a single problem, instead of allowing yourself to be distracted by minutia.

And you are showing a poor level of reading comprehension. I did not argue that inexpensive bread could solve poverty. I argued that inexpensive bread could solve food shortages.
The scope of the problem is by no means minutia. The only reference we have to the US is in the calculation of a supposed transportation subsidy, a necessary simplification as estimating road costs of underdeveloped nations would be time prohibitive. However, it is you that must focus on the problem. The problem as stated is a comparison between bread sizes. There was no indication that this problem should be contained to the United States. Your assumption of a domestic argument shows rigid thinking.

>>723584012
Depends on one's point of view. Yes square bread more effectively fills a trailer, but that also means more weight with its attendant challenges. Not to mention the immovable object/unstoppable force problem . Bread packed too tightly would be smashed. In the long run, it's irrelevant given the number of faggots that cut the crust off.
tl;dr both kinds exist for a reason. Each has pros and cons.

This may be true, but we cannot limit ourselves to the affluent few. You cannot deny the impact a single loaf of bread would have on a starving child. As I stated to another, you must expand your thinking.
Also, whether the human race should eat bread at all is irrelevant to the issue of that bread being round vs square.
>>
>>723600246
I believe the quaint colloquial term of the time is "goalpost shifting". You have lost the argument, and therefore are claiming that the argument is really about something else.
In any case, bread size is also irrelevant. It's shape and localization that matters, and locally-sourced round bread has been demonstrated to improve morale on seven colonies adjoining the Klingon empire by up to 11.7%.

You've been repeatedly referring to an irrelevant cost per mile calculation derived on a total that was off by more than an order of magnitude. You have never addressed that, therefore you have failed to present your case.

>>723601689
It's only local scarcity though; there is a global surplus.
And while there are supply chain problems, the real issues tend to be political. Any donated food ends up in the hands of warlords who use it to retain power.

I'm saddened that you're still hung up on this cost per mile calculation. I wish I could help you understand that it is irrelevant. The argument for square bread is that it is less costly to ship, regardless of what the current cost of shipping is.
Indeed, if the cost of shipping is astronomical as you propose, reducing it is of even greater importance. Thus, square bread is the most logical choice.
Also... even Vulcans enjoy Caturday.

>>723602712
Saddened? Enjoy? I'm sorry Spock, but you must learn to restrain your overly emotional human side. It will help you realize that the cost per mile calculation was yours, and that I was the one who was arguing it was irrelevant.
And if shipping is local, the net benefit is minuscule. So the morale benefits of round bread, cited above, are far more beneficial.

In Africa, in much of the Middle East, Latin America, and across much of Asia. Corruption is rampant, as anyone who works on the humanitarian side can tell you.
And China and India are still political problems because there is excess global capacity, but they're not feeding their people. Lowering the cost in a particular area might help in that limited area, but it doesn't address the fundamental structural problems.
