Will, while I can appreciate your love of fresh baked, the main reason people (like myself) buy pre-sliced breads is because they are cheaper and more convenient. It costs me $1.50 to $2.00 for a loaf of Whole Wheat pre-sliced and upwards of $5 - $6 for fresh baked, un-sliced. The pre-sliced also has a longer shelf life.
As for pasta, I love fresh pasta. I love it even more when I make it myself. But there is very little difference, when it comes down to it, between fresh and dry. The main difference is more a mouth feel than anything. The ingredients list on dry pasta is very short and without preservatives and additives. Convenience, in this instance, is not a bad thing.
