Mmm...cellulose...

Seriously, though, I used to chew on wooden pencils as a kid and probably ingested a fair amount of wood there. Just goes right through.

Creepy, yes, but I already heard of the cellulose thing in yoghourts. That in the cheaper products the fruit pieces are not fruit, but some jelly-thingie made of cellulose with fruit flavour. *Shudders* makes me want to buy a farm and only eat what I can harvest.....

I heard most, if not all, of these already, but still. Blech. The "Free range chicken" one also has another loophole - some industries just keep their chickens in cages, but have a nice little door to the outside… it's just that the door is fenced off. But still! It's access to the outside world, sort of!

At least the wood pulp filler stuff doesn't trigger a horrible allergic reaction like soy filler does for me o.O

Haha, same here.

As for the original article, we had frozen pizza for dinner last night. All I could think of was how it was probably mostly wood pulp. No wonder those things taste like cardboard.:/

Some say Legion will be the downfall of WoW, I disagree. WoD was the downfall and Legion will be there to raise WoW from the dead.
