except its all by design. this is pushed in all the stores but healthy food like raw milk is outlawed. shows that our government is working against us :(
Very sad actually it's more so infuriating that no one is doing anything about it. We need to educate others on what's happening in the food industry and come together as a people protesting these large food companies as a whole. How many more years are we going to let them put poison in our foods? Compared to Canada or Europe, our standards are pathetic. Sadly the vast majority of people are unaware this is evening happening. Glad more people are waking up though 😔
That's why America is one of the sickest country on earth cellulose is wood we shouldn't be eating wood the FDA allows 10,000 chemicals in the food chain 😢.
What's even sadder is that it's allowed to happen? It's all greed based. Food companies only care about the bottom line...profits over their customers. It's unethical and unscrupulous! Smh
regulated actually...the FDA was created by regular ppl cuz what the FDA is doing to ppl now farmers and other goods distributers were doing before the FDA came around....just an fyi....
On the coffee, go to a higher end grocer and they will sell whole beans by weight that you can grind there in their grinder...so you take home ground coffee after all.
Unfortunately, the only real solution is to ban food imports from low trust countries. China, for example, is rife with this stuff. Just look up "sewer oil" on youtube, you won't believe it.
It's crazy how much higher quality the food is in most other developed countries, and how many things banned in, for instance, England, are totally legal here.
This is exactly why the cooperative movement was started in Rochdale and grew globally. Food suppliers were bulk basic items like bread and milk. We need to go back to basics and boycott and prosecute those people who tamper with food.
Exactly how can they be prosocuted? They are untouchable the rich do what they want where they want and to whom they want is that right of course not but people are evil and corrupt.

Luckily I live in Finland. The food regulations are strict to the point of frustrating here, but at least when you buy black pepper, grounded or whole, from a Finnish condiments firm, you know that it's what it says on the label.
Yes but what is being mentioned here in the video is the "may contain traces of" part of the label. Which oftentimes doesn't mean that there is sand of dirt in it. But that there is a possibility of it being there, mainly to avoid lawsuits. You cannot guarantee that every single product is 100% without any of these materials, heck most of our sea life contains microplastics. I'm sure that in Finland they also contain those "may contain traces of" part. And if someone thinks that it is possible to have 100% clean products then oh boy have you never entered a factory in your life. Also cellulose is an anti binding agent for parmesan. So it's required in the product.
@@starfuryduck3446 yup, sure, but in the video he says that cheaper pepper might be ground up seeds that are just flavoured with spice oil. That doesn't happen here. "May contain traces of..." is not the same, as a totally fake product. And no, this video was not just about the mention of "may contain traces of...". It was about _fake pepper_ .
@starfuryduck3446 these are two completely different things. May contain traces of is something they have to put when e.g. two products are made in the same factory and small traces of one might make it into some batches of the other which is important when working with allergens that may harm people. It is not used when something is intentionally added to the product. EU food regulations are very strict, which is why many American products are just not sold here. They certainly wouldn't let you add 8% wood pulp to your parmesan. And no cellulose is quite obviously _not_ required to be in there, it's cheese not a plant based product. In Italy it is actually prohibited by law to add additives like this to authentic parmesan.

See all the stuff he mentions that gets cut with additives is a lot cheaper than the whole product. Like I’m not gonna disagree but not everyone can afford proper Parmesan because it’s 60 dollars a kilo, and pre shredded cheese needs the starch to stay separated or else it clumps up so any shredded cheese you buy shredded has starch added. This practice is done with goods other than foods like natural gas and fuels, it’s by far not the worst thing companies do.

Shouldn't the FDA be held accountable for letting these things pass as food? Personally, I don't want wood and twigs in my coffee. If it's in there, I want it disclosed on the packaging so I can make an educated choice.
ALmost as bad as creators like this guy who just spread nonsense. The cellulose for example is necessary for the cheese to stay separate. If you WANT a solid chunk of parmesan, then of course buy it. That's also why a chunk of parmesan is significantly more expensive than a similar container of the shredded stuff.
The sad reality is all of the foods that are organic, fresh, and better for you are more expensive. Not everyone can afford to shop for all the good stuff. The problem lies with the regulations that allow companies to produce toxic stuff, and companies who only care about profit and get away with it. Trust, if I could shop for all the best stuff all day long, I would. I try to be conscientious, but our budget doesn't always align.
True. That's why I started to grow my own foods. Especially from anything that has a seed (Fruits/Veggies/Herbs). Do not throw away the green stems growing out of your Onions- Those are Scallions. The roots growing from Sweet Potatoes, are sweet potatoes (reserve & grow them). Same with regular potatoes- The nuggets growing out, are potatoes. .. You can even grow Strawberries: The seeds are literally what coats the Strawberries. I hope this Helps someone, because I budget as well, and the FDA is allowing any and everything to slip through the cracks in our food. We have to take more initiative as a People to make sure we have proper nutrition.
If we cut out all the bad shit and ate only what's good, I'd bet on the side that it wouldn't be more expensive. You don't need to eat premium organic grass fed saffeon, just not bad shit.

Some of it really is just practicality. We may think it’s gross, but contaminants are a part of life. If it doesn’t hurt us, there’s a cost/benefit analysis we have to do between how much that pepper will cost you, the consumer, if a company has to be absolutely, 100% sure there are NO twig remnants ground with the pepper corns. It’s not like they are willingly adding twigs to your pepper. They just aren’t taking as much time to filter out the tiny parts like they do with whole pepper corns - where you would notice them. Does it hurt anyone? No. Does it make pepper cheap enough for everyone to buy? Yes. Can you buy whole peppercorns if you want to? Go for it. If it grosses you out to think about bugs or plant matter in your processed food, you’re definitely going to want to consider making everything from scratch. There’s no other way around it. People wouldn’t be able to afford food that was 100% filler or contaminant free. We just wouldn’t. Then processed food would just be for rich people and the rest of us would be growing our own again.

the cellulose in powdered cheese isn't to bulk it up to rip you off, it's to prevent clumping. It's a *necessary* ingredient for the convenience of not having to grate it.
It's so much simpler and easier to work with. Sure, a block tastes better, but unless you just want bug chunks I grated cheese in your food it's just too big a hassle.

All pre-grated or shredded cheeses in a store will have cellulose in them. All of them. Because it is a cheap, nutritionally neutral and effective anti-clumping agent. It is still actual cheese. It isn't a fake food. It is just here to prevent the stuff from clumping together as much as possible. Otherwise you would just end up with a jar of parmesan that is pretty much just one giant clump.
It is against the law. If you noticed; he was able to point to the very labels these products have containing what these "Demon products" contain. Most of these things are fillers used to increase shelf stability or have some mechanical benefits to the product itself. Powdered cellulose helps keep the parmesan from sticking to itself for example lol. Coffee with soybeans and corn?!?!?! :O OH NO. Who would ever want to consume those products?!?! Awful. Except its absolutely fine lol. Its a filler used to alter the taste of the coffee lol. Its still overwhelmingly "coffee".

Thank you for this useful consumer information. I don't know why these tactics are allowed when we have an FDA that's supposed to work for our benefit, not against.
The filler ingredients really arent that bad. Wood pulp? Not going to kill you... The issue is that they are selling you a product under the false assumption and advertising that you are buying the ADVERTISED PRODUCT. Not some mixture that only contains 5-10% of the actual ingredient you were trying to buy. Its just scummy and greedy.

Cellulose also constitutes cotton fiber, plenty of fruit skins, leafy vegetables, and a ton of other things. It's the primary component of plant cell walls. Anything plant based will have some amount of it. Calling it "wood pulp" is somewhat reductionist. In any case, it functions as an anti-caking agent. It's added to keep the ground parmesan ground. There's a market for it. That said, I do agree that customers should get whole coffee beans and whole peppercorns. There really is a dramatic difference in flavor and quality.
Cellulose, and anti-caking agents were enough to switch me over. Now I buy the cheese block, and store it in the freezer. Grind it when I need it, and it lasts the same amount of time.
I remember when I first came to the US from Australia and I always said that the food in general was terrible compared to the food in Australia. The quality just didn’t taste right and it actually did not sit right in my stomach. And sure enough I was right.
As my neice was growing up, we had numerous family dinners and it seems I was forever complaining about the poor quality of fruits and veg available to us in the States. In her final year at uni, she took a class trip to Japan. Her first words to me after her return, "OMG Aunt Tina! NOW I understand what you've been saying about fruit all these years!" The Japanese have "fruit stores". When you purchase, the fruit is wrapped like a gift complete with bows. It was VERY expensive, but she opted to have fruit for at least 1 or 2 meals a day so that she could experience the flavors! On her next trip to Japan, she actually had a separate "fruit budget"!
@@wavyremix Yes, but not to the extreme that the US does. One example is Red dye 40. It’s made from petroleum and contains benzene that is a cancer causing substance.

True. But that’s a question of culinary authenticity and flavor, not ingredients. It is also more expensive, since parm reg can only come from a certain region in Italy (and thusly is an import when bought elsewhere).
The cellulose in Parmesan is an anticlumping agent. So what you are paying for is the convenience of pre-grated cheese that doesn't clump. Usually, the grated parmesan is significantly cheaper than block.
In europe, we manage to get grated permesan with no additive. It does not clump, or if it does, you shake a little and it un-clumps%Stored in much smaller packages and refrigerated.
@@serahloeffelroberts9901literally the only thing of value in the video is the taste of fresh ground/grated being nicer. But most people settle for old ground because they don't have the time to do it themselves.
@@NicolasMendoula yeah because if you've ever grated your own cheese, it sticks together. So they add powdered starches to pre shredded stuff so it doesn't clump. It's not bad for you lol

The powdered cellulose isn’t to cut costs, they aren’t trying to commit fraud. Pure powered parmesan would just clump up without the powdered cellulose.
You would probably have to grate it again, negating the purpose of buying pre-grated cheese. Thanks for thinking. These comments sections sap my faith in humanity.

I'm pretty sure most food has wood pulp in it to provide some benefit like extra texture or something like in ice cream. I'll need to rewatch that Food Theory video about if it is possible to eat a tree. Edit: Yep. Wood pulp makes ice cream creamier, and makes it more difficult for the grated cheese to clump back together.
Folks, I encourage you to eat whole foods. Apples, banana, orange, avacado, watermelon, onion, etc Whole cuts of steak, chicken, pork, fish, etc While its difficult to do this consistently, try to opt for the whole version than the processed when given the choice. For ex, a pork chop is healthier than a hot dog.
More expensive though. I don't think a majority of people can afford steaks everyday over hotdog cans. And not to mention people need to be able to cook and have the time to "process" these whole foods themselves into their meals. I get what you're doing is trying to encourage people, but a lot of these factors are often out of their control due to time constraints and or income.

fact check 1. pepper corn and ground pepper corns are the same LEGALLY they can not add random stuff to and claim they are selling you pepper. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen 2. powder cellouse is an anticlumping agent. It's a derivative of wood pulp or plant fibers. it also haspotassium sorbate preservative that stops mold and extends the shelf life.

how strange then how we can buy powdered sugar and grated parmegiano with no additives in Europe and they are just fine.

Thank you. Parmesan cheese, whether grated or in whole pieces, can contribute to constipation. Similarly, whether coffee is ground or whole bean, it, along with cocoa/chocolate, can be a primary factor in reducing calcium levels in the body. Calcium aids in muscle contraction, a fact often overlooked by many, including the heart, which is also a muscle.
Thank you for that information, I eat chocolate and drink coffee so I better eat lots of foods that have calcium then. I do have a bad heart and my heart muscle has been weakened due to lots of stress from local criminals over the last 20 years. They contributed greatly to my heart attack 18 years ago. I have to get my heart rate brought down in hospital when they cause me too much stress so calcium is probably very important for me. In regards to cheese and constipation the sort of cheese I buy has the opposite effect. It is goats cheese in a glass jar in a liquid with peppercorns and herbs. I don't suffer from constipation but I used to and I wish I had known about it then it seems to put a nice lining on your stomach and helps everything come out very smoothly!!! It also makes my skin feel very silky and smooth and yet I'm 79. I only started to have it because a famous doctor on TH-cam recommended it. It has some very special thing in it but I can't remember what it is, but it is not even in goat's milk. Just try it, I think it is wonderful.
That's why we always read labels. Been doing this years. If its not real ingredients, we don't buy it. If it has wheat in it, we most certainly can't because we have some one with celiac in our house. Also, coffee creamer made by International Delight or Coffee Mate, is made with oil. Buy the real stuff. The only reason this stuff is allowed is because you keep buying it
I use real half and half in my coffee and have ever since I realized that that was why the coffee at Denny’s tasted so good, plus it’s natural. I’m good.
I agree, but wood and twigs aren't shown on ground coffee labels, so hard to make the choice not to buy it if it's not disclosed on the packaging that it's in there. I don't buy ground coffee anyway, as I prefer to grind beans fresh myself, but now I really will never buy ground coffee.
Was wondering what was up with ground coffee, i had some of my dads last week and it was nasty. Was so confused how apparently 100% coffee grounds could taste so different from the locally roasted beans I was used to.
There are many different coffee beans around the world from different climates, of varying quality, various types (Arabica vs Robusta), differences in processing and roasting techniques, freshness, and so on. It's very common and to be expected that one coffee is different than/ superjor to another.
@@silverbushb448 true but this barely tasted like coffee and barely looked like coffee, it wouldnt grind to espresso consistency either. Reminded me of dandelion root tea which people claim tastes like coffee.
The article he shows about cellulose in parmesan cheese lists 2-4%. He proceeds to double that and tell you how there is 8% in there. His viewers are literally mind numb, and he banks on it.
Also the cellulose is needed to stop the grated cheese from clumping together. The same powdered cellulose is applied to shredded cheeses to keep it from sticking together in the bag
And it's not wood pulp 😂 it's fiber extracted from plant cells. Works as an anticaking agent and thickener. Nothing about it will harm you. Everytime you eat veggies you consume a ton of it 😂
All the things he says reek quite a bit. Besides not questioning why some ingredients are there, all ingredients must also be listed on the packaging. If businesses are known to add unlisted ingredients, there would have already been consequences. Competition is fierce, if the government doesn't catch it, a competitor will inform them.
That Parmesan has no lactose or bacteria, the wood pulp is there to prevent clumping. Most Parmesan isn't true Parmesan, they're a different version that is rapidly made. The ones refrigerated are there because they can still be aged longer because there is still bacteria present. All cheese is just ripe milk
Parmigiano doesn't need refrigeration 😂 and the cellulose isn't wood pulp. It's plant fibers. You eat cellulose every time you eat a vegetable 😂 it prevents caking. Had you read the article he cites in this short you can easily see he's lying. He provides a screen shot that says 2-4% and proceeds to tell you lies about the article and food and you believed him 😂

Luckily I live in Finland. The food regulations are strict to the point of frustrating here, but at least when you buy black pepper, grounded or whole, from a Finnish condiments firm, you know that it's what it says on the label.
Yes but what is being mentioned here in the video is the "may contain traces of" part of the label. Which oftentimes doesn't mean that there is sand of dirt in it. But that there is a possibility of it being there, mainly to avoid lawsuits. You cannot guarantee that every single product is 100% without any of these materials, heck most of our sea life contains microplastics. I'm sure that in Finland they also contain those "may contain traces of" part. And if someone thinks that it is possible to have 100% clean products then oh boy have you never entered a factory in your life. Also cellulose is an anti binding agent for parmesan. So it's required in the product.
@@starfuryduck3446 yup, sure, but in the video he says that cheaper pepper might be ground up seeds that are just flavoured with spice oil. That doesn't happen here. "May contain traces of..." is not the same, as a totally fake product. And no, this video was not just about the mention of "may contain traces of...". It was about _fake pepper_ .
@starfuryduck3446 these are two completely different things. May contain traces of is something they have to put when e.g. two products are made in the same factory and small traces of one might make it into some batches of the other which is important when working with allergens that may harm people. It is not used when something is intentionally added to the product. EU food regulations are very strict, which is why many American products are just not sold here. They certainly wouldn't let you add 8% wood pulp to your parmesan. And no cellulose is quite obviously _not_ required to be in there, it's cheese not a plant based product. In Italy it is actually prohibited by law to add additives like this to authentic parmesan.

See all the stuff he mentions that gets cut with additives is a lot cheaper than the whole product. Like I’m not gonna disagree but not everyone can afford proper Parmesan because it’s 60 dollars a kilo, and pre shredded cheese needs the starch to stay separated or else it clumps up so any shredded cheese you buy shredded has starch added. This practice is done with goods other than foods like natural gas and fuels, it’s by far not the worst thing companies do.

The cellulose for example is necessary for the cheese to stay separate. If you WANT a solid chunk of parmesan, then of course buy it. That's also why a chunk of parmesan is significantly more expensive than a similar container of the shredded stuff.
The sad reality is all of the foods that are organic, fresh, and better for you are more expensive. Not everyone can afford to shop for all the good stuff. The problem lies with the regulations that allow companies to produce toxic stuff, and companies who only care about profit and get away with it.

Some of it really is just practicality. We may think it’s gross, but contaminants are a part of life. If it doesn’t hurt us, there’s a cost/benefit analysis we have to do between how much that pepper will cost you, the consumer, if a company has to be absolutely, 100% sure there are NO twig remnants ground with the pepper corns. It’s not like they are willingly adding twigs to your pepper. They just aren’t taking as much time to filter out the tiny parts like they do with whole pepper corns - where you would notice them. Does it hurt anyone? No. Does it make pepper cheap enough for everyone to buy? Yes. Can you buy whole peppercorns if you want to? Go for it. If it grosses you out to think about bugs or plant matter in your processed food, you’re definitely going to want to consider making everything from scratch. There’s no other way around it. People wouldn’t be able to afford food that was 100% filler or contaminant free. We just wouldn’t. Then processed food would just be for rich people and the rest of us would be growing our own again.

Cellulose also constitutes cotton fiber, plenty of fruit skins, leafy vegetables, and a ton of other things. It's the primary component of plant cell walls. Anything plant based will have some amount of it. Calling it "wood pulp" is somewhat reductionist.
In any case, it functions as an anti-caking agent. It's added to keep the ground parmesan ground. There's a market for it.
That said, I do agree that customers should get whole coffee beans and whole peppercorns. There really is a dramatic difference in flavor and quality.

The cellulose in Parmesan is an anticlumping agent. So what you are paying for is the convenience of pre-grated cheese that doesn't clump. Usually, the grated parmesan is significantly cheaper than block.
In europe, we manage to get grated permesan with no additive. It does not clump, or if it does, you shake a little and it un-clumps%Stored in much smaller packages and refrigerated.
Real parmesan reggiano does not clump because it is a very dry, grainy cheese. The powder bottle is garbage compared to the real thing.
The grated parmesan isnt real parmiggiano reggiano. Big difference!
There is no taste comparison between fresh grated cheese and the stuff in the can.
@@serahloeffelroberts9901literally the only thing of value in the video is the taste of fresh ground/grated being nicer. But most people settle for old ground because they don't have the time to do it themselves.
The celulose in parm is there so it doesnt clump up as much. It also helps yhe product last much longer on the shelf
That may be true but it still isn't cheese
But it's not cheese anymore
@@NicolasMendoula yeah because if you've ever grated your own cheese, it sticks together. So they add powdered starches to pre shredded stuff so it doesn't clump. It's not bad for you lol
Thank you for letting me know this I'll just have to start my fresh Parmesan cheese😊
@@StonedSammieSue well... you better buy a whole block of cheese that you grate when needed.
Pre-bottled Parmesan is great used as a thickening agent in dishes because of the added cellulose and it has added flavor. Great for fiber intake too!

I just imagine an associate coming to aisle being like, "Sir, we've talked about this. You can't come keep coming in here with a camera shitting on our products."
I'd laugh so hard if I were nearby and heard something like that.
@@misschin99 hey, it’s good shopping advice.
Ha!
You can't come keep coming? I had a stroke reading that😫
Lol 😂
The powdered cellulose isn’t to cut costs, they aren’t trying to commit fraud. Pure powered parmesan would just clump up without the powdered cellulose.
You would probably have to grate it again, negating the purpose of buying pre-grated cheese.
Thanks for thinking. These comments sections sap my faith in humanity.
Ok we get it you don't mind eating cellulose extracted from sawdust to each his own.
@Debbie_Bcool it's most likely cellulose from corn or another vegetable, but it's okay. We get it. You're allergic to learning things and can't live without your manufactured outrage.
@@Lifeletnothingholdudown I hate Parmesan cheese and don’t eat it, but calling it a scam is far from the truth and that’s what I was addressing. But your passive aggressiveness makes me wonder, why do you care so much about what other people are consuming anyways? You’d be a lot happier if you stopped trying to change everyone else and just focus on yourself. Stress kills more than anything if you actually care about health.
@@Lifeletnothingholdudown Yes, Debbie I bet you are the perfect figure of health and only eat the most clean, garden grown, chemical free foods you can get.
If not why are you judging other people?
I can tell you that grinding your coffee to a roast makes a huge difference, and that alone is enough reason
Tastes better and fresher! A lot more of that coffee essense!
YESSS
What coffee grinder do you use
Exactly! I haven’t bought ground coffee in decades.
@@bernadetteduran528grinder isn’t really important unless you’re making espresso/pour over and need really fine adjustments to your grind size. i prefer a manual burr grinder as it’s a lot more consistent and i have way more adjustment options, but if you’re someone who’s only gonna be making drip coffee in a machine, a blade grinder is wayyy cheaper and much easier to use.
And those items are waaaay cheaper. If you’re poor, you’re not eating healthy food.
I was bummed about the coffee. Just started buying whole bean coffee and grinding.
I’ll never go back to pre-ground.
It’s not much more expensive too, like a quarter more per cup. I can get a 2 pound bag of fresh roasted coffee for $25 with shipping.
I'm getting ready to do the same myself😊
Just a few seconds in the grinder in the morning makes a wonderful smelling pot of fresh coffee and starts your day out so amazingly. Mmm☕️
Just threw out my deodorant that contains aluminum…
Going to start grinding my coffee too😊
try local craft roasted coffee, you’ll never go back to the crap on the grocery store shelves. Most of it is robusta rather than arabica.
Cellulose isn't just "wood pulp." It's plant fibers.
Plants which, it turns out, you can eat.
It's what gets marketed as dietary fiber.
What is a tree. Lol. Its technology a plant.
It’s also a necessary ingredient for pre grated cheese to not clump XD
@@siobhanstollznow1148 No, you could use starch to prevent clumping or just refrigerate the cheese after you grated it. If you use cellulose 2% is enough, you don't need 8%.
Sooo have fun getting riped off, I guess? You don't have to protect the people who scam you, you know? No, the don't do it because it is necesary, they do it because it let's them sell you cheap cellulose for the price of expensive parmesan.
I'm pretty sure most food has wood pulp in it to provide some benefit like extra texture or something like in ice cream. I'll need to rewatch that Food Theory video about if it is possible to eat a tree.
Edit: Yep. Wood pulp makes ice cream creamier, and makes it more difficult for the grated cheese to clump back together.
This guy is brilliant, I love watching his videos 📹
Keep bringing us more, I'm always watching 🎉
Folks, I encourage you to eat whole foods.
Apples, banana, orange, avacado, watermelon, onion, etc
Whole cuts of steak, chicken, pork, fish, etc
While its difficult to do this consistently, try to opt for the whole version than the processed when given the choice.
For ex, a pork chop is healthier than a hot dog.
Very true,I been trying to eat more fresh options,less sugar,less processed of everything.
More expensive though. I don't think a majority of people can afford steaks everyday over hotdog cans. And not to mention people need to be able to cook and have the time to "process" these whole foods themselves into their meals. I get what you're doing is trying to encourage people, but a lot of these factors are often out of their control due to time constraints and or income.
Exactly! Thanks
I got a thing of raw pork loins and cooked some tonight just to try it. Turned out better than I thought I would do lol
@@starfuryduck3446lol hotdogs are the lowest quality of meat u can find. some are not even made out of meat
Usually the more processing you remove from your food the better it is imo.
That's not really a blanket statement you can make.
If you cook your food, you process it. Does that mean you think raw food is always better than cooked food? Absolutely not.
@@kiraflo98 we are talking about added stuff on your food, cooking is just what you do to food, not what is supposed to happen to all food, also he said “imo” “in my opinion” so it is a blank statement.
@@Adrian10_14 He talked about processing food, not adding stuff to your food, so idk where you read that.
@@kiraflo98 in the video the guy literally says “they add papaya seeds, twigs, leaves, and sand to your pre black peppers” these are additives, also known as processed…
Those suppliers should be charged with fraud and jailed
no they shouldn't and they won't just don't be a dumbass
Except it's perfectly legal in America.
Buy whole products and put them together yourself. Even whole products aren't what they used to be. Bland flavorless, lacking vitamins and minerals because they are grown depleted dirt, no longer soil
I've been buying whole peppercorn since I moved out a couple years ago. I've been using Uber for groceries since I don't have a car and Walmart (which is the cheapest) is out of the way by bus. Just this week, a guy was shopping for me, and he said whole wasn't in stock and showed me a ground alternative. I told the guy 'don't buy it' but he still did anyways, so I'll have to use it 😪 Saves time from grinding but still, there's this freshness and strength when you grind it when needed
fact check
1. pepper corn and ground pepper corns are the same LEGALLY they can not add random stuff to and claim they are selling you pepper. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen
2. powder cellouse is an anticlumping agent. It's a derivative of wood pulp or plant fibers. it also haspotassium sorbate preservative that stops mold and extends the shelf life. Without both of these most people would not able to have paremensen cheese.
Ohhh ohhhh someone with facts and logic instead of mindlessly believing what is said XD
You should create an app where you can scan the product and it tells ppl what ingredients listed on the label are considered fake food. That would be pretty cool.
The app is called your eyes reading the label

Organic food can be bad it just means less pesticides can be used
This is something I have recently started to think about. Not specifically food, but ingredients that are used which can include food.
Oh he missed the biggest scam, "Organic" and "Free Range"
Free Range, yes a scam. Organic, absolutely not.
The biggest scam is himself
funny thing...where I am, we know our veggies are for sure 100% organic and sell for almost half the price of non organic. Strange but true,most of the local consumers still are loyal to non organic. Their reasoning,and they are right, non organic has a longer shelf life. My answer is...buy less even if you have to buy a bit more often. 😊
He hits them in other videos.
@@Saer-s9u part of the "organic" moniker is "non-gmo". Well..that's impossible because nearly no crop is without genetic modification in one form or another.
I always bought the products that come in “whole” and not ground. With ground you lose a lot of the flavour and don’t know what else is in them.
You are amazing! And how scary the government is allowing the companies to sell those!!
Honestly all these people that tell us this is bad for you or that has this or that chemical and so on. It’s almost unavoidable. All the shit they sell in stores..the detergent, the body washes, the food, the oils, the hfcs, the fake colorings, the fake additives, the one almond in the fake almond milk, the fake oat milk that’s full of oil, the keto camp vs the carnivore camp vs the vegan camp vs the fruitarian camp, this carb is bad vs this carb is okay, you need fiber and then you don’t need fiber. Bread is bad but keto bread is good, keto bread is bad but Dave’s whole grain bread is good despite having canola oil. The freakin pesticides they spray on vegetables and the certain pesticides allowed on organic crops of vegetables and fruit. The hormones in meat and dairy and eggs..shit gets exhausting to keep up with. Literally creates stress and worry when they say worry and stress kills us so either way you’re fucked.
Not to mention the shit they spray in the air, the poison we breathe in every day.
I’m over it. We all live and die at our appointed times by God. The day we are born isn’t picked by our parents or us, neither is the day we die picked by ourselves or loved ones. It was picked by God.
Nothing wrong with taking care of yourself and trying to find the best diet for yourself and be healthy but after awhile all these influencers just steal a sense of peace and we forget to follow our own instinct that’s supposed to lead us to the right things for us personally
It’s fucking depressing and exhausting. All these Bobby parish like influencers and all these “I once was a doctor but now I’m just a doctor with a podcast on TH-cam” kind of people are great and have great insight but after awhile and at the end of the day we are all just trying to survive and inflation doesn’t make it easier for us all. And at the end of the day we just want to live and not be paranoid about all this shit these influencers are trying to warn us about and we all end up dying anyways. Just listen to your gut instinct it’s there for a reason and you’ll know what’s okay for you personally and it’s much more peaceful that way.
Not to mention the hate in the keto and carnivore and vegan and other diets towards one another. It’s stupid. They all act like a religion. It’s like Christianity against Catholics and them against Muslims and other religions.
It’s cruel and cold and at the end of the day it’s just fucking food.

If you seriously didnt already know about these things thats sad. This is all comon sense stuff that evey 7 year old already knows about where i come from
I want to see the parmesan-catch blooper reel!
And powdered sugar (icing sugar) contains starch like corn flour. Why?
It’s because to prevent them from clumping. The finer the grind, the easier it is to absorb humidity and clump together.
This is the same for the other products too. Try pulverising parmesan and see if you can reach the powdered stage without it becoming a dough. Same with Sugar.
how strange then how we can buy powdered sugar and grated parmegiano with no additives in Europe and they are just fine. Of course they clump if you make it wet, but in general packaging here is smaller so you use it all up before any humidity could cause that. and even if you can just crumble it all up again or use a sieve for the sugar.
I powder my own sugar
Easy in a coffeemill
I knew it wasn’t just in my head that there’s something different about ground coffee. Nothing compares to freshly ground whole beans.
THE TRUTH IS, IT'S ALL BAD FOR U! In America they're allowed to lie on labels & tell u things won't hurt u that DO. It's been proven so I don't understand why anyone still eats this way. FRESH is my only solace.
America has good food , hippies in the wild have a terrible living standart and they die by 35 max.
Can you give an example of that please
@@NukeisAfriKaner example of what exactly?
@@NukeisAfriKaner I got one for you.
Corn syrup is pretty much used in almost every food.
It's a cheap alternative then adding real ingredients and it's extremely fattening for you.
There you go.
@@R_A_3000 You refer to High Fructose Corn Syrup and everything with that ingredient in it is pretty explicit. Don’t know why it would need tell you its dangerous. Its no worse than table sugar. But they never “lie on the labels” unless you have an actual example of a company still selling product while lying about its ingredients.
Usually ( not always) higher prices items contain the actual solo substance it advertises

I never brought ground pepper as you can clearly tell the difference between the taste and smell or any of the ground spice products for the same reasons.
I wasn’t aware of the add ins so thank you for the video. I will now pay more attention to the packaged spice or ground products.
Thank you Bobby, you make a difference.
Hes an idiot for the most part
Thank you. Parmesan cheese, whether grated or in whole pieces, can contribute to constipation. Similarly, whether coffee is ground or whole bean, it, along with cocoa/chocolate, can be a primary factor in reducing calcium levels in the body. Calcium aids in muscle contraction, a fact often overlooked by many, including the heart, which is also a muscle.
Thank you for that information, I eat chocolate and drink coffee so I better eat lots of foods that have calcium then. I do have a bad heart and my heart muscle has been weakened due to lots of stress from local criminals over the last 20 years. They contributed greatly to my heart attack 18 years ago. I have to get my heart rate brought down in hospital when they cause me too much stress so calcium is probably very important for me.
In regards to cheese and constipation the sort of cheese I buy has the opposite effect. It is goats cheese in a glass jar in a liquid with peppercorns and herbs. I don't suffer from constipation but I used to and I wish I had known about it then it seems to put a nice lining on your stomach and helps everything come out very smoothly!!! It also makes my skin feel very silky and smooth and yet I'm 79. I only started to have it because a famous doctor on TH-cam recommended it. It has some very special thing in it but I can't remember what it is, but it is not even in goat's milk. Just try it, I think it is wonderful.
That's why we always read labels. Been doing this years. If its not real ingredients, we don't buy it. If it has wheat in it, we most certainly can't because we have some one with celiac in our house. Also, coffee creamer made by International Delight or Coffee Mate, is made with oil. Buy the real stuff. The only reason this stuff is allowed is because you keep buying it
I use real half and half in my coffee and have ever since I realized that that was why the coffee at Denny’s tasted so good, plus it’s natural. I’m good.
I agree, but wood and twigs aren't shown on ground coffee labels, so hard to make the choice not to buy it if it's not disclosed on the packaging that it's in there. I don't buy ground coffee anyway, as I prefer to grind beans fresh myself, but now I really will never buy ground coffee.
@@elizabethwitt2621as long as the twigs are organic I’m fine.
It costs extra to be healthy.
Was wondering what was up with ground coffee, i had some of my dads last week and it was nasty. Was so confused how apparently 100% coffee grounds could taste so different from the locally roasted beans I was used to.
There are many different coffee beans around the world from different climates, of varying quality, various types (Arabica vs Robusta), differences in processing and roasting techniques, freshness, and so on. It's very common and to be expected that one coffee is different than/ superjor to another.
@@silverbushb448 true but this barely tasted like coffee and barely looked like coffee, it wouldnt grind to espresso consistency either. Reminded me of dandelion root tea which people claim tastes like coffee.

The article he shows about cellulose in parmesan cheese lists 2-4%. He proceeds to double that and tell you how there is 8% in there.
His viewers are literally mind numb, and he banks on it.
Also the cellulose is needed to stop the grated cheese from clumping together. The same powdered cellulose is applied to shredded cheeses to keep it from sticking together in the bag
@@SpartanJ113yeah shredded cheese in bags and Parmesan in a plastic container is not cheese
And it's not wood pulp 😂 it's fiber extracted from plant cells. Works as an anticaking agent and thickener. Nothing about it will harm you. Everytime you eat veggies you consume a ton of it 😂
All the things he says reek quite a bit. Besides not questioning why some ingredients are there, all ingredients must also be listed on the packaging. If businesses are known to add unlisted ingredients, there would have already been consequences. Competition is fierce, if the government doesn't catch it, a competitor will inform them.
May be true. But I don’t want any cellulose in my food at all.😢
The fact that the creepy "parmesan" is just in normal isle and not even refrigerated says a lot about it
That Parmesan has no lactose or bacteria, the wood pulp is there to prevent clumping.
Most Parmesan isn't true Parmesan, they're a different version that is rapidly made. The ones refrigerated are there because they can still be aged longer because there is still bacteria present.
All cheese is just ripe milk
Parmigiano doesn't need refrigeration 😂 and the cellulose isn't wood pulp. It's plant fibers. You eat cellulose every time you eat a vegetable 😂 it prevents caking. Had you read the article he cites in this short you can easily see he's lying. He provides a screen shot that says 2-4% and proceeds to tell you lies about the article and food and you believed him 😂

Don't buy pre-ground coffee if you can help it. All this plus roaches. The level of roach allergen contamination in it is so high that some doctors recommend that those with sensitivities like asthma grind their own coffee
