Are you aware that you are eating sawdust in some of the very popular foods?

Many companies are adding wood pulp 

to their products.

CELLULOSE

Cellulose is virgin wood pulp that has been processed and manufactured  into many different forms (cellulose gum, powdered cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, etc.). It is deemed safe for human consumption according to the FDA. The FDA has set no limit on the amount of cellulose that can be used in food products meant for human consumption.

Manufacturers use cellulose in food as an extender, providing structure and reducing breakage. Cellulose adds fiber to food, using cellulose allows the companies to reduce fat content in foods  and cellulose also extends the shelf life of processed foods.

By using Cellulose companies have been able to remove as much as 50% of the fat from some cookies, biscuits, cakes and brownies by replacing it with powdered cellulose.  

To reduce fat companies are feeding us WOOD PULP! 

Come on!!!  Seriously this is NOT right!  

I am pretty sure not many people would be ordering a McFish or a Caesar Salad from McDonald's if it was posted contains Wood Pulp. I know I would not make a Duncan Hines Devil's Food Cake for Davey's 6th Birthday Party!  

What is wrong with this picture??  McDonald's must put the amount of calories of an item on their menu - but they do not have to put it is made with wood pulp!
