Bias in the "History" section
It says that the bread of the dead is of pre-Columbian origin. But how is it possible that it was pre-Columbian, if the wheat was imported by the Spanish? It says that pre-Hispanic indigenous people "baked bread". How are they going to bake bread, if it didn't even exist back then? The indigenist theories have been widely discredited by academics, and the legend of the heart in the amaranth, which is explained here as if it were true, is a myth that is not explained in any codex or record of that time. More serious studies such as that of Dr. Elsa Malvido (from the INAH) have shown the Hispanic and Christian origin of the pan de muerto, although this is not explained at any time in the text. – El Mono 🐒 (es.wiki account) 10:39, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
