Humans are in a very interesting situation with our food source. We have to eat to live, but in the current food industry in this country truly is a situation of “let the buyer beware.”
What do Sargento shredded cheese, Aunt Jemima’s pancake syrup, Pillsbury pastry puffs, Kraft Bagel-Fuls, and Sara Lee’s breakfast bowls all have in common? You might be shocked to find out that they all contain a food additive you would never ever let your toddler eat: wood pulp. They gave it a fancy name, but it is still wood pulp.
Cellulose has become a replacement for flour and oil because it is 30 percent cheaper. The FDA does not restrict its use because it is edible and non-poisonous. Cellulose can even be found in organic foods because it used to be wood and so it is “natural.” It is enough to make a religious person, pray “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Or do they?
But the worst thing about cellulose is not that it’s everywhere. The worst thing is that it is not food at all. Cellulose is, unlike the actual, normal food items you think you’re paying for, completely indigestible by human beings, and it has no nutritional value to speak of. If a product contains enough of it, you can literally get more nutrients from licking the sweet, sweet fingerprints off its wrapper.

What is a body to do? Read the fine print. I was very surprised to see cellulose right there on the Sargento label. If you are guided to, you can boycott products that you know are making choices based on profit rather than health. Write a letter to the company and copy it to your elected officials.
This week, eat more fresh and raw. Grow your own veggies. Buy fruits from your local farm market. Tell others what you have learned….
