It turns out that cellulose can provide texture to processed foods, so food companies have taken to happily using it as a replacement for such unnecessary and inconveniently expensive ingredients as flour and oil. As the 30 percent cheaper cellulose is edible and non-poisonous, the FDA has no interest for restricting its use -- or, for that matter, the maximum amount of it that food companies can use in a product. It is pretty much everywhere, and even organic foods are no salvation -- after all, cellulose used to be wood and can therefore be called organic, at least to an extent. 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.

Fresh organic fruits and veggies for me. I try my best to stay away from packaged and processed food.cats drink half a jug of orange juice...its like the sugar from 12 oranges...im sure each glass has the sugar from 4 to 5 oranges in it. you dont sit and eat 5 oranges at once...ever. you go ahead and juice 3 apples and a banana, and drink your half cup of juice with some ridiculous amount of sugar in itllike i said, limit the sweet fruits and add veggies.

so anyone got alternative OJ choices?

This will probably sound very %%#%-erotic, but there are random times during the day in which I think "hmmm, I wonder what Nazr Mohammed is doing RIGHT NOW"...

Or that cigs and vodka wasnt part of daily routine? You cant out run the reaper.
