A To Z Blogging Challenge: X Is For Xylography (‘the art of engraving on wood’)

Now wood engraving is wonderful and I think it can be beautiful but every time I see a piece of wood these days I can't help but think of an article I read a while back titled,  Plaster, Wood, and Sand in My Grated Cheese?

I don't think an article has ever effected me the way this one has. After reading this and finding out all the gross things that are in my pre-shredded cheese, I haven't bought anymore pre-shredded cheese again and I guarantee that you won't want to either. 

Frankly, I was skeptical so I looked on the back of a package of shredded cheese I had in my fridge and started Googling the different ingredients and sure enough...wood, sand and plaster in my cheese.
