If eating bread does not increase the level of carbs in your body, and I'm a person with a good business sense, I'd probably start a bakery. That's the only way to go. Of course, you may have to start at something small at first. But eventually, if people like what you do, your business will grow and become famous as well, like all the bakeries in here.
