The video someone posted earlier shows that 15% is still not entirely noticeable. 33% people could tell something was off but they weren’t bad enough to stop eating.
So it’s somewhere between 15-33% and it seemed to be leaning closer to 33
But not “way more than you would think” where “you” includes readers such as /u/agmemnonymous and myself.
IMO you should be able to guess >5% just from the OP image. The OP implies that corporations actually used sawdust as a substitute, which implies it was a profitable substitution, which implies it was worth it to set up an entire supply chain for bagging sawdust in sawmills, outbidding other parties interested in industrial quantities of sawdust (such as paper mills), shipping it to cereal factories, mixing sawdust into the mix, and trying out ways to make it homogeneous, not to mention the risk of customers noticing and switching to alternatives with less sawdust.
That said, nobody uses sawdust anymore because it’s too expensive. Hay, straw, and chaff are much more common sources of cellulose, also known as dietary fiber. Most people in the western world would be healthier if they ate more sawdust (assuming it has been produced in a way that didn’t introduce toxic pollutants).
I think I remember someone on reddit actually doing this and the result was waaaaaaaay more than you think.
Libertarian sub reddits don’t self regulate
I thought it was pretty obvious after like 10%?
10% sawdust before people notice sounds pretty fucking high to me :/

Not waaaaay more than you’d think though, is my point
Way more than I’D think.
