Differences between Canada and Brazil - Difference # 62
By municipal and I believe, federal, law (really!) bread in Brazil is sold by weight. Perhaps people thought that they were previously being charged for the air pockets?

Makes sense to me. For no real reason..
A completely random and unrelated question for you: I likely have a meeting in Rio later this year and we're trying to decide whether or not Gretchen and the rest of the family should come along. Is Rio too unsafe/chaotic to travel with a baby?
Lest people think that I am avoided Kirk's question, I am not! Once I realised that my answer was long, verbose and would likely cause blogger to implode, I sent it to him directly.
But, in a nutshell, I definitely don't think that Rio is too chaotic for a baby. I do think, however, that anyone, baby or not, going to Rio has to be ultra aware of where they are and what is going on around them. A few precautions, visits which don't venture off the beaten track, and you will likely have only good memories to bring home. No cameras dangling off arms, no isolated side streets or parks (sunshining or not), no walking on the sand past sunset, no exploring an unknown neighbourhood, and all should be fine. Rio is beautiful and deserves to be explored. Unfortunately the immense inequities and social exclusion have led to a society in which violence is all to common an occurence. Let us know what you decide!
And I appreciated your response! (Although we still haven't decided anything yet...)
And what are the implications of this difference. Is bread cheaper or more expensive priced this way.
While in the US we price by loaf--in reality cheap store brand breads
go for about a dollar a loaf. Heavier specialty breads with things like flax seeds cost about three dollars.
