Why doesn't bread mold?

[kfd82]

I have half a loaf of bread that is at least 2 months old (maybe more) that doesn't have a spot of mold on it.
I remember when I was a kid bread would mold in a week or so if it wasn't eaten.

I've read the stories about the mcdonalds burgers left out for months at a time and they still look good as new. Everyone hollers about them being chock full of preservatives and being bad for you.

Looks like Natures Own Honey Wheat is just about the same.

A little background, I live part time in an apartment in Houma,LA. I split time between here and Houston. I've had this bread so long that the cleaning lady threw out my lunchmeat!

These tortillas were bought before Christmas. No mold on them either.

If we don't eat bread in a week and a half it starts going green

lived in BR for thirteen years --- me and Houma have met

still say Houston is the most humid place on the planet, but that's probably just me looking for a reason to never go there

I read something about a mold-eating parasite that scientists have never seen before.

Same reason Twinkies have a 20 yr (exaggerated) shelf life!
