What if bread is the meaning of life?
No, seriously. Bread.
I mean, imagine the universe really was created by an omnipotent artist, an aesthetic God, who said to himself "This universe will beget a race, a race will which invent and enjoy bread for all eternity."
I mean sure, it seems pretty far-fetched, but heck, why not? Everyone admits God, if he exists, must be pretty damn mysterious. And sure, bread seems like a pretty mundane meaning compared to love and faith and hope and sex and so forth, but being simple doesn't stop something from being important. Think about it: Bread.
To some person, maybe, bread is life. Maybe he spends all his days testing new recipes, tasting and enjoying various kinds of bread, and baking wonderful loaves and cakes and dishes and... bread-y things. To this person, bread could really be the meaning of life, as plain as day. Bread. Seriously. If something as simple as bread could be the meaing of life, why couldn't, say, socks? Clowns, boomerangs, bus engines, that cute guy on the subway, your neighbours, or even you yourself. The possibilities are endless.
The meaning of it all could be hiding in plain sight, all around you. Think about it.
Bread.

Crazy thought, but also sooo true...
It must be something simple like that, I think... who creates a pool of amoebas and let them evolve, and make up a crazy complicated purpose like love? Why? Makes much more sense to give them a good, solid, friendly goal, like bread. Like the art of enjoying bread.
And now I have proof that your theory is true. As God's prophet Jesaja puts it (Jes 55:2): Varför lägger ni pengar på det som inte är bröd...? Can it be more plain than that? God himself has spoken!
Clowns could not be the meaning of life.
