Health advocates are always looking for special ingredients to make meals more nutritious. But will they be able to convince Americans to eat food made from animal feed? Yes, you read that right: animal feed.
Apparently, the stuff left over from turning corn into fuel ethanol makes a very healthy flour substitute. It’s protein-packed and full of fiber. Sounds great, right? There are just a few catches. It smells “like a saloon.” On it’s own it “tastes like coarse sawdust.” And people just can’t get over the fact that it’s most often fed to cows and pigs.
Padu Krishnan, a food scientist and professor at South Dakota State University, admits that dried distillers’ grain (or DDG) faces a “barrier of perception.” But he’s doing his best to convince people to give it a try. For nearly 20 years he’s been refining recipes and slipping small amounts of DDG into cookies, pizza dough, and bread, which he then feeds to students, friends, and family members. And according to his test subjects, when combined with other ingredients, you can hardly taste it.
Still, Jacquelynn O'Palka, chair of the department of nutrition and dietetics at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, believes that DDG won’t go mainstream without the help of a celebrity. "You clearly would need to get a Hollywood star or a sports figure, someone really wonderful, to wolf down DDG cookies," she said.

We eat hamburgers with couch stuffing in them, ammonia infused meat , bread with cellulose wood pulp, blueberry muffins where the blueberries are corn(ha they sneak corn into all our foods!), apple pies where the apples are actually potatoes, let's not forget the Twinkies, etc...
Hey half the time we don't even know what we're eating, if it tastes good well...
