Depends on the image.

Sawdust is more costly than Microplastics.
You obviously didn't see this kids talent show presentation on microplastics in peanut buttercups
You don’t wanna know what’s 17.2% of his lemonade stand recipe

People forget that cutting food with sawdust was an actual problem once upon a time. It's one of the reasons the FDA exists.
Oh, they still do it, but they can't use as much and they have to put it on the label.
It is still made in strawberry flavored yogurts, this strawberry flavor is a sawdust distillate. That is, 100% sawdust can be used in food as a substitute ingredient. It can be labeled still as natural ingredient, because wood is. Just as the red dye, carmine, made from a species of insects, is labeled as natural. The small difference between strawberry flavored yogurt and strawberry yogurt. Bon apetit.
Skeletor runs away
YouTube RedNile and he'll turn turpentine into cherry soda
What codename do they use on the label? I imagine it doesn't just say "sawdust".... tree flour?
Cellulose Powder
I'm serious read the ingredients for kraft parmesan cheese
It's used in shredded cheese as well to prevent the cheese from sticking to itself. It's also why you don't really want to use shredded cheese in foods where the cheese needs to properly melt like grilled cheese sandwiches or pizza.
Single best reason to buy parmesan flakes or chunks.
Also important to know if you have a wood/smoke allergy.
Cellulose is not wood. Just like a slice of bread is not a sandwich.
That's kind of a strange argument. Cellulose isn't necessarily wood but wood is cellulose. Your sandwich is made with bread.
Partly correct, wood is a mixture of cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin in varying amounts.
Cellulose powder is wood pulp. It doesn't really have nutritional value and is often used in the production of certain medicine types as well, but it is definitely wood.
Lumber costs more than rice or corn these days.
100% sawdust goes from rice crispy treat to biscostti.
Did this video leave anyone else really wanting to try something made with wood flour?
hes the future head of production id say
All the right qualities for corporate. Quality products demand excellence.
Did your keyboard run out of everything but lowercase letters and space?
yup, they wear out after a while. great guessing game, here is a cookie! 🍪
IIRC the original image was from a Mormon "science" fair and the sign was something about proving the existence of God.
"Man, ever since I started eating those rice crispy treats my poops have been solid and super comfy WAIT A MINUTE"
