The images on the cards are photos of the Tarot de Marseille.
In that tarot, you don't have a dard named "The lovers" but "The Lover" 
that show a guy tornd between two ladies. It means some hard choice to 
be made.
The hardest part here is modeling the bent, worned, cards and giving 
them some thickness.

Maybe there is cottage cheese on it..?

I would make it as a difference, and add plenty random-sized spheres as
differences to that area where the bread is cut. But true - there are
several good ways to make a healthy bread. i will follow this thread. :-)

Are you going to add a glass or bowl with honey beside it, another with
butter?

Dutch bread, alas.

I once tried to suggest to our German government, to implement a Fat
tax: depending on percentage of bad fat in a food, the producer or
deliverer (restaurant) would have to pay a fat-percentage-dependant tax.
Of course, restaurants and supermarkets would forward that fat tax to
the consumer. the effect would be, so I hope, that unhealthy food
becomes more expensive and less attractive, and the money taken by this
tax should be used to support health insurances to finance cures for
fat-sick persons.

But the politicians answered, such a fat tax would be unfair to the few
slim persons who need to eat more fat in order to look normal...

That was maybe around 2005 when I proposed that.

I suspect crackle pattern would be the best basis; it'll need some
elaborate warping though, to change the shape of the holes near the crust.

And rightly so.

I personally know someone who has been struggling all his life to /gain/
weight, despite a surprisingly sugar-rich diet. I'm sure there are
people out there who are in the same situation despite a fat-rich diet.

Also, it would address a non-issue anyway. In general, we're far, far
away from American obesity -- and the portion of our population who
/are/ outright obese wouldn't be impressed by a fat tax /at all/.
