I wonder how fir this fad will actually go
The new fibre apparently tastes, feels and fill you up like fat, but as it is in fact undigestible fibre, it does not pile on the pounds or provide extra energy.
...
Reminds me of Olestra, the champ of flatulence and anal leakage.
There’s already a seaweed that, when fried, tastes just like bacon. I’d like to try that!
Pretty Funny, it is precise;y because of all the Artificial Crap that has been introduced since the 70’s that made People so FAT in the first Place!, Let’s try some more of the same!
A real treet!
A real treet!
So, the old Post Grape Nuts cereal commercial finally becomes true? We’ll be eating bark and twigs?................
Go out on a limb and buy some. It’s bite is better than its bark....................
He’s dead, Jim.................
I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember that guy’s name!
It was the first thing that came to mind. :)
native americans tribes were called bark-eaters (algonquins, or abenake or some such tribe) because in winter they subsisted on pine bark
OK, now let’s see them turn hot dogs into pine trees....then I’ll be impressed!
This is a little embarrassing to admit, but...when I was a little kid, I thought Eule Gibbons and Yul Brynner were the same guy.
Sure would have made for a different version of The King and I, yes?
Is this substance anything like Olestra?
People were cautioned against consuming more than a modicum of of the substance, which was promoted several years ago as a “fat substitute”.
Now remember, most of the objections came from an organization that calls itself “Center for Science in the Public Interest”, known for their widespread application of incomplete studies and generally junk science in their pursuit of an agenda.
Among their objections were assertions that the fat-soluble nutrients in the blood stream were depleted at an unusual rate, far in excess of expected drops. This included many vitamins and various carotenoids, which were then excreted fro the body, and the presence of the Olestra caused sometimes severe bouts of diarrhea or bowel leakage. This agency also wanted to link Olestra with carcinogenic activity, but this is just one of their typical scare tactics.
Expect the same kind of assault on this new product.

Lots of commercial ice creams already incorporate wood-based ingredients. Imitation vanilla flavors are made from tree leftovers.
