There are some people saying that Taco Bell changed its filling for its Tacos. The Taco Bell website, www.tacobell.com/nutrition/ingredientstatement, lists "Cellulose" as an ingredient in the Southwest Chicken taco filling. Wikipedia says "Cellulose" is paper: "Paper is a thin material mainly used for writing upon, printing upon or for packaging. It is produced by pressing together moist fibers, typically cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper. Does anyone know the answer to this? Am I reading this right? Is this true?
 
You never know what fast food places are putting in their food.
McDonalds is probably using horse shit in their burgers.

Well, it tastes like they are.
 
Cellulose is the major constituent of paper, paperboard, and card stock and of textiles made from cotton, linen, and other plant fibers.

Cellulose can be converted into cellophane, a thin transparent film, and into rayon, an important fiber that has been used for textiles since the beginning of the 20th century. Both cellophane and rayon are known as "regenerated cellulose fibers"; they are identical to cellulose in chemical structure and are usually made from dissolving pulp via viscose. A more recent and environmentally friendly method to produce rayon is the Lyocell process. Cellulose is the raw material in the manufacture of nitrocellulose (cellulose nitrate) which was historically used in smokeless gunpowder and as the base material for celluloid used for photographic and movie films until the mid 1930s.

Cellulose is used to make water-soluble adhesives and binders such as methyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose which are used in wallpaper paste. Microcrystalline cellulose (E460i) and powdered cellulose (E460ii) are used as inactive fillers in tablets[10] and as thickeners and stabilizers in processed foods. Cellulose powder is for example used in Kraft Parmesean Cheese to prevent caking inside the tube.

Cellulose is used in the laboratory as the stationary phase for thin layer chromatography. Cellulose fibers are also used in liquid filtration, sometimes in combination with diatomaceous earth or other filtration media, to create a filter bed of inert material. Cellulose is further used to make hydrophilic and highly absorbent sponges.

Cellulose insulation made from recycled paper is becoming popular as an environmentally preferable material for building insulation. It can be treated with boric acid as a fire retardant.
 
EWW that would be gross.
But I don't think that would be true...or else it would be all over the news and stuff :P
