My comment is mostly a reference to this video[1].
Replace 'sawdust' with 'cheapest sugar available' and that is something happens all of the time, and is arguably worse, because sawdust doesn't cause addiction, diabetes, heart disease or obesity.
Although a joke, sawdust is listed as 'cellulose' in food ingredients, and it's commonly used in food[2].

- crazygringo 4y agoYou're factually incorrect. Sawdust is not cellulose, and sawdust is not used in food. Cellulose is a purified extract from wood, just like sugar is a purified extract from sugar beets. And shredded/crumbled cheese have long used cellulose for its anti-caking properties. It's not a scam, it's so your cheese doesn't clump.
