Here's an article I read earlier about food on Cracked.com. Very eye opening...had no idea how much wood people eat!

    Ok yeah it's a surprise but def not a horrifying lie!

    Who cares if they add wood to all food..... especially trying to lose weight! Cellulose has like no calories & lots & lots of fibre so it's win win. And if we didn't even know this till today it obviously is being used well in that we don't taste or notice it & it replaces calories to boot!! :)

    Maybe that's why I got healthy again when I started eating gluten-free...

    But I don't wanna eat wood!

    Wood is not a food. And I think the fact that we're comfortable with its presence in these processed abominations that stock the shelves of the supermarket really says something about how bad this stuff is! I guess it's just like...wood? Well that can't be the worst thing in there!
