Did you know that bread is 8,000 years old?! The Egyptians used to mix the ingredients with their feet. Greeks and Romans soon followed suit. For a long time, bread was the main food for the common people. It was also a Holy food and was respected by all religions. If bread was not available, it was a sign that starvation was coming and was often followed by illness, disease and rebellion.
Today with the wide choice of food on offer, bread has become a commodity product, and most of the time is only used as a support to the main food, e.g. soup, stew etc.
With the evolution of farming and bakery techniques, industrial bread was born. At first the quality was very poor. However, as the years went by, the equipment and knowledge progressed to reach a standard of good quality. We are now entering an era where factories are looking to manufacture bread which was made by hand 60 years ago, but using a fully automated process.

Because we find it hard or impossible to digest whole raw grains.
And because it is almost impossible to store grain for long periods of time without any yeast getting to it, humans are bound to create either bread, or beer, or both.
Simple.
