minus-squareFartsWithAnAccentlinkfedilink16•edit-22 months agoOP confirmed for beaver with dental issues. It might interest you to know that we do eat wood when we eat that sprinkled parmesan or romano cheese in the plastic containers: It contains wood to prevent the cheese from clumping (and it counts as fiber)

minus-square@scutigerlink3•2 months agoIf you consider cellulose to be wood, sure. They don’t put actual wood in there.
minus-square@scutigerlink1•2 months agoCellulose can come from just about any type of plant. Cotton is almost entirely cellulose, for example. I don’t know what their cellulose comes from, but saying cellulose is trees is like saying milk is cheese.

All shredded cheeses, I believe.
