Just waiting for the deregulated free market to solve these kinds of issues skeleton-wave

porky-happy: “Don’t like it? Start your OWN food company! It’s MY product and I do what I want! Ever heard of FREEDOM?”

[–] Zoift@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

If people use the product irresponsibly and fail to run magnets over their produce it's their own fault really. smuglord

[–] Commie_Chameleon@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

Well they’re trying to solve the issue that you aren’t magnetic, but the government keeps stopping them.

I once found a spring in a box of cereal

Peak cereal box toy prize.

How nice of them to add extra iron

[–] Zoift@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

Was it a good sproingy spring at least?

Oof, I actually once had to drop a box of cereal cause.....it had a fall

Always buy the whole block of cheese! It’s cheaper for the amount of cheese you get.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

you dont get free sawdust with it though. 2 in 1, what a bargain! (cos i think the shredded stuff is coated with something to prevent the shreds from sticking together)

[–] MisshapenDeviate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The good stuff is usually potato starch or corn starch, but the cheap stuff is indeed often "cellulose". Apparently some use both.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

yim yum, cellulose, my four stomachs will take care of that!

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

it's just indigestible fiber, it's honestly probably doing you a favor if you eat a lot of cheese

[–] huf@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

yeah, i was wondering that. but is industrial grade cellulose really like normal fiber you get from vegetables?

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

As long as it doesn't have like wood splinters (idk why it would) or come from something with toxins in or on it then idk why it would be harmful for you at all. You just can't digest it. It's no worse than eating a bunch of corn and pooping out the shell from the kernels

[–] huf@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"the case for putting finely ground sawdust back in white bread"

in this paper i will argue... :D

sawdust isn't just cellulose though, idk how they source food grade cellulose as an additive but it'd be more like ground up straw or something. Wood sawdust is full of lignin

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Anti-caking agent is probably chemically treated microcrystalline cellulose (E460 i).

[–] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

i'm no dietician but does indigestable fiber even provide the same benefits as digestible fiber?

...goes n looks...

Cellulose may not be digestible by humans, but it serves as a vital food source for the beneficial bacteria in our gut. These bacteria break down cellulose and, in the process, produce short-chain fatty acids that are beneficial for gut health.

huh. well I'll be. we do get something out of cellulose after all. i wonder if you have to cultivate this particular gut flora or if other fiber eaters cover cellulose too (not that Americans can easily avoid it)?

[–] fox@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cellulose is the most abundant organic molecule on Earth and is unavoidably part of all non-carnivore diets. Everyone is digesting at least some cellulose all the time.

[–] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

that answers that lol

I've been stuffing termites in my appendix for just such an occasion

Capitalism is driving me insane

Keep it going, this is bars

[–] Snort_Owl@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I want Victorian england capitalism back. If my bread isnt 50% plaster I dont want it. If my milk doesnt wipe out an entire generation of children i dont want it

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

A solid percentage of the US population is unironically like this. So many chuds just want to be victorians but with AI slop everywhere.

[–] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

broke: going vegan for budget or animal-wellbeing reasons

woke: going vegan because all the non-vegan food in the US is poison

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

doomer i don't eat as much rice as i'd like because of the heavy metals

[–] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i looked into this extensively a few years ago and IIRC what i found was that the metal content of rice depends greatly on where it's grown. i think Thai rice had the most and Indian had the least, generally. but yeah, metal in my rice is agony

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

yeah, several places in the US where it's not great either.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

hail-seitan and rice 🤘

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

Don't worry, capitalists has it covered! Vegan food in the US is poison too!

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Okay but if I die of cheese please tell people it hypnotized me like a cartoon mouse and lead me to some kind of kill box.

[–] abc@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

ohhhh this is why ALL the processed cheese was on sale last night when i went to the store. i was so confused because literally the entire cheese fridge had sale stickers on every product and I was like "is kraft's shredded cheese a hot product right now or did they order way too much for thanksgiving or something"

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Get a recall for safety and put it on clearance, someone should be executed for that and im not exaggerating. like that store manager could kill someone

[–] abc@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

To be fair I don't think my grocery store actually sells any of the recalled stuff but they definitely had all of the Kraft branded processed cheese & like the Tillamook on sale. So I assume it was more of a "oh there's a big cheese recall let's just put all of this bagged cheese on sale to entice people who may be wary of buying processed cheese this week" if I had to guess and less "offload all of this recalled shit now" LMAO

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, they probably recognise that a cheese recall results in people buying less cheese in general, even if the tainted stuff has already been recalled.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

could kill someone

And if not death, then life changing injuries or at least intense pain until the injuries heal who knows when; can you imagine getting an appointment for an MRI without knowing this is why you're in intense pain?

[–] onwardknave@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is why I only eat houseplants. 😠

Thanks for the link, thankfully my product wasn't recalled but I quickly panicked.
