What's happened to Vogel's  

I AM NOT IMAGINING IT!
Vogel's Bread is NOT what it used to be!
There has been a gradual decline in the quality of Vogels bread (a steady part of my diet for many years).
Lately I have noticed that the dough has begun to resemble "just another bread dough".
It is missing the watery, glutenous rye consistency that was uniquely Vogel's.
The wrapper boasts that it is the original recipe and that "It's so treasured, we will never change a thing."
Bullshit!
Goodman Fielder are quietly transforming it to the same bland pap that other mixed grain breads are, and they are cynical enough to believe that no one will notice.
Well I for one have, and am now actively seeking a locally baked substitute.
