>Microcrystalline cellulose

>wood product

Microcrystalline cellulose is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer, an anti-caking agent, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production.[1] The most common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets. It is also used in plaque assays for counting viruses, as an alternative to carboxymethylcellulose.[2]

In many ways, Cellulose makes the ideal excipient. A naturally occurring polymer, it is composed of glucose units connected by a 1-4 beta glycosidic bond. These linear cellulose chains are bundled together as microfibril spiralled together in the walls of plant cell. Each microfibril exhibits a high degree of three-dimensional internal bonding resulting in a crystalline structure that is insoluble in water and resistant to reagents. There are, however, relatively weak segments of the microfibril with weaker internal bonding. These are called amorphous regions but are more accurately called dislocations since microfibril containing single-phase structure. The crystalline region is isolated to produce Microcrystalline Cellulose.

Alton said it best: If you don't recognize an ingredient, don't eat the food unless the chef can identify it for you.

Nigga just put some potatoes in boiling water till soft then mash up with some butter and milk. I refuse to believe people actually find that complicated.

The idea of having a long ingredient list full of weird shit doesn't necessarily bother me in theory. Eventually processed foods are going to be healthier than whole foods. We have a long fucking ways to go, though.

when you have to cook enough for say...6 people and are cooking a roast or whole meal its not always feasible to have time to wash peel boil then mash them.

i do agree eating REAL food is better but we don't always have time prep the food.

cellulose is what makes up the large majority of the stuff we call "dietary fiber". It's the main molecular ingredient in all plant cell walls.

And if you're telling me that powdered shit tastes anything like real mashed potatoes then I would just order take out. You'd be doing your friends a favour.
