I remember that bread was made from wood fibers and I purchased a loaf not knowing, it tasted awful for sandwiches and the bread actually caught on fire in the toaster. The rest went into the trash can and never bought that again. Five years ago I consumed all that was on that list. In the last year perhaps three items. "Log Cabin Syrup", McChicken at McDonalds (never again) and Kraft Mac and Cheese. I think Kraft is off my list completely. But if one company is putting it in their cheese, what about others? I started to buy Log Cabin because it no longer has High Fructose Corn Syrup in it. Now to find another brand. I will to give credit to Alton Brown for getting me off the processed foods over the years. I make my own pancakes and waffles, Hot coco mix, frostings and other foods from basic Ingredients. I cannot wait to get another dairy cow and make my own cheese. -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |

There's nothing at all wrong with microcrystalline cellulose, except that it gives the pre-shredded bags of cheese a less than ideal mouthfeel if eaten unmelted. One of the nice things about Del Taco is that they grate their cheese freshly, in-store, so no microcrystalline cellulose.

It works quite well in applications where you're melting it, or even getting it really warm. It's convenient, and is also sometimes REALLY cheap. Oh, John, up until closing on Monday, Dierberg's has 4oz. cow's milk feta for $1. Speaking of cheese, I seriously like the Palermo's frozen pizzas: http://www.palermospizza.com/primo-t...n-sausage.aspx It's about the best pizza you can buy in St. Louis.

My first reaction to the story was negative, but then, as you say, we eat vegetable matter all the time. So, I guess any objection I might have would be related to the reason why it's being used in any particular item and the end result. If the sole reason is for the manufacturer to heighten its profits, and the end result is poorer in some way because of it, then that is undesirable. If the product is somehow better (and I suppose that depends on our individual definitions), the addition might be judged in a more favorable light. -- Jean B. |

In fact, I used to cart some around when we ate breakfast elsewhere, because the fake stuff was just not worth eating. Interestingly, my daughter has started making buttermilk pancakes with bananas and chocolate chips in them. I was lucky enough to try a tiny pancake a couple of months ago, and it was so good that it needed no adornment. Moist too. (She would never make a dry pancake. She likes to tell a tale of how she was in New Mexico with her dad, and she got pancakes that were soooo dry that they totally dehydrated her. Oh, I can't do her story justice. I tell her she should try stand-up comedy!) -- Jean B. |

I use it very rarely, but it has to be the real thing. Now that I am LCing that is an issue. Sigh. -- Jean B. |

I've never seen grade C maple syrup. Maybe you can buy it from the farm, but I've never shopped at a maple syrup farm stand. -- Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. |
