Sport Whole wheat bread vs Whole wheat plastic

A few weeks ago I picked up a loaf of bread from the supermarket to use for eating cold cuts on. I literally looked through every single different brand on the shelf and compared the nutrition facts, and in the end, settled on some brand of whole wheat that featured absolutely no sodium, lower fat than the others, and a good amount of fiber (in short, it was the healthiest alternative according to the nutrition facts).

That loaf of bread is almost finished, but what's left of it is still sitting on top of my fridge (at least 3 weeks old now), and it hasn't gone bad yet. To quote my mother: "Heh. That must not be bread then."

I think it's safe to say she's mostly right. It looks like bread and tastes (marginally) like bread, but if it doesn't go bad, I'd assume something's not right with it. So I'm curious, is it better to eat pseudo-bread like this one, or the healthiest 'real' whole wheat bread I can find? I'm sure a more homemade brand wouldn't have as impressive a set of nutrition facts, but maybe I'd be able to eat it without wondering what exactly, if not actual bread, I was putting in my body...

I talked my mom out of her breadmaker and haven't bought a loaf in 8 months, put the stuff in, set the timer and in the morning it is fresh and just cool enough to cut.

I would be wondering about whats in yours with a shelf life like that. I get max a couple of days from mine.
 
Which brand is this? I have been having Pepperidge and Arnold for a long time now. A week more and it gets moulds on it.
 
i hve been buying w.w. pita bread and keeping it in the freezer. nuke it and you're good to go, even without any fat or jam or it.
