Isn't paper made of vegetable fiber? If one makes it purely mechanically (i.e. no chemicals), why not it be edible?

You all ASSUME that I'm even remotely interested in vegetable fiber...

The only way I get vegetable fiber in my gastric system is if the animal had some last supper before getting butchered.

Fake fake buns maybe not fake after all?

Quote:

Danwei reports the latest in nattering nabobs of netizen dissent:

What is not being reported in the press is that many people in Beijing believe that the news about the cardboard buns story being fake is itself fake (e.g. see these posts by Chinese journalists Ping Ke and Milk Pig). The way the authorities have gone about stopping the story is exactly the same way they clamp down on real news stories that they don't want circulating.
It makes sense to us that, after decades of clamping down on real stories that they wished were fake, authorities would use similar tactics in the suppression of an actual fake story.
