"Rudkin grew up baking with her grandmother, who would teach her the basics of cakes and biscuits. These skills she would go on to hone when she would begin her break-making journey. The true reason for her creating the band of Pepperidge Farms remains a highly debated topic, however, as of the Pepperidge Farms’ own website page. It states that she founded the brand Pepperidge Farm and baked whole wheat bread in order to aid her son’s asthma. A doctor has previously attributed her son’s illness to the over-processed food and preservatives. Therefore, his suggestion was a diet of fruits, vegetables, and other minimally processed foods. She sought to find a better solution and decided to make a bread out of stone ground whole wheat bread which would prevent nutrient loss of the typical bread. She proudly showed the doctor her creation and he began to recommend the bread to his various patients." (from Wikipedia) .
