<DIV>My apologies if I am saying something that has already been said and/or is
trivial, but it seems to me that there is an obvious difference.
Vegetables can be eaten as they are (or with minimal preparation), whereas bread
does not grow from the ground. Hashem "brings forth bread" in the sense
that He provides the raw ingredients, but those ingredients require a great deal
of processing before bread is produced. One might translate "hamotzi
lechem" as "He is the ultimate Cause of bread." </DIV></DIV>
