Hmmm... wood chips and splinters in your intestine? Although, when a kid, I always thought that the piles of saw dust looked good to eat, something about the texture...

I was trying to find some pithy quote dealing with eating sawdust, and in the FreeRepublic thread HOLODOMOR is an Ukrainian word meaning extermination by hunger... I found this:

IIRC, `famine’ in Russian is `golod’. Bread made from sawdust was called `golodny khleb’ meaning `famine bread’.

In Ukrainian that `g’ converts to a guttural to give `holod’. The transliterated word `holodomor’ is entirely consistent to describe the horror of the NKVD-induced famine in Ukraine in the drive toward forced collectivization in the 1930’s.

Mmmmm. Sawdust bread. Can I get some spiced up with melamine?

"What is often in shredded cheese besides cheese? "

I don't think you can call the "cheese" part of shredded cheese cheese. I don't know what it is, but it sure isn't sure isn't cheese, and the fact that it contains "wood fiber" really doesn't come as much of a surprise to me.

Say what you want about Europe, but they do have better food than we do and at least some of it has to do with their restrictive food labeling laws. The next time you're in a better grocery store, pick yourself up a small wedge of real imported Parmigiano-Reggiano and compare it to the Kraft Parmesan you probably have in your refrigerator. You'll be amazed.

If I want more fiber in my ice cream, I'll eat part of the box. Low fat? not found in my home. Not something I generally confuse with food.

Cellulose is what the cell walls of plants are made of. It is found naturally in all vegetable foods: tomatoes, oatmeal, cabbage, strawberries, peaches, etc.
