Scientists have now found a way to convert cellulose to starch, a process that can be used to obtain food from all kinds of plants and not just food crops. Cellulose is found in all plant cells and is the most common carbohydrate in the world. However, humans can't use cellulose as a food source as they lack the enzymes to break it down. In fact, no vertebrate can digest cellulose directly due to the lack of necessary enzymes. However, animals like cows, sheep and goats have symbiotic bacteria in their intestinal tract that help them digest the carbohydrate.
The study, led by Y.H. Percival Zhang, an associate professor from Virginia Tech, has found a way to obtain food from plants that could reduce the burden on agriculture. The study team produced a kind of starch from cellulose called amylase, which is a good source of dietary fiber.

I'm game. But I won't eat off
I'm game. But I won't eat off the ground like cows and horses do. I'll still have to wash my grass first.
To me, this article is quite
To me, this article is quite asinine! The whole scientific study and the millions it took to develop bogus junk to feed humanity is a crime against humanity! Our bodies were not created to consume this foreign non food poison. So they want to feed it to the animals which will eventually end up on someone's supper table, knowing the human being consuming the meat of these animals, will be administered the non digestible plastic (cellulose), which will in turn, in time, will cause multi-billions of dollars in medical attention to figure out why the body is dying. It is total BS. Clearly another tactic to poison the masses at the hands of those who do not know LOVE. It is clearly evident. God created our body and we know God. We know LOVE. . We all know whose agenda it is to once again try to control humanity, so with eyes that can see, and a heart who knows LOVE, we can see through this kind of BS propaganda. Thanks, but, no thanks, we won't be fooled again, Dear illuminati, for even though you don't know LOVE yet, one day soon, may all of your hearts and eyes be full of the LOVE you are to BLESS all of creation and for the highest good ALL...don'tcha know.... LOVE WINS! Peace, Joy, Light and Love to ALL! NOW
Not sure if you meant it
Not sure if you meant it literally, but cellulose isn't a plastic. It's what makes up the cell walls in plants, and gives plants their rigidness.
I agree that this is a horrible idea, the last thing anybody needs is more processed food.
