Much of it does not. McDonalds is known to use an edible plastic in their shakes.
This is considered to be beneficial by some people; if you can't digest it, it doesn't have any calories, and fatties who pay attention can look at it and say "oh, it only has xxxx [4 digits] calories? That's not bad." Assuming you actually can't digest any of it, and assuming it doesn't cause you GI troubles, I suppose you could argue it's healthier. I'd argue the crap is included for economic rather than health reasons.
