Rice > bread
I find bread kind of bland to be honest. Needs to be mixed with something or have cheese melted on it for me to really enjoy it on its own. Then I'm usually faced with questions like "why don't I just eat some damn cheese?"
I like French and Italian bread. Like warm baguettes mmmmmmm
A lot of bread is just an excuse to eat butter, though.
What do you mean 99% of the population doesn't need carb calories? People eat bread, pasta, and grains because they're too poor to eat enough calories per day on just vegetables and meat. Most of the world's population relies on those carb calories to fill out their meals. If you think you can solve the food crisis by replacing wheat with steak, good luck.
One problem with wheat is the amount of things that go into the products it is in.
You can just cook a steak but with bread, etc, you need different flavourings perhaps (like any herbs, spices, fruits, etc), salt to give it more taste, something to make it last past 3 days (store bought stuff). And whatever else to help it stay together (sugar to help it rise, yeast, etc.).
Of course you could eat 100% wheat cereal but usually it seems to need a bit of flavour (most people are probably going to go with unnatural forms of sugar).
