And there’s no better “comfort food”, than Macaroni and Cheese. I limit myself though to it only a couple times a year.

[usurper]

Cause it’s gross. I swore off that crap 30 years ago, I respect the concept of cheese too much to eat the fake slices.

Same here, why anyone would put American cheese on anything baffles me. Sharp cheddar is superior in every way.

But most people do not know the difference.

The only good point in the article it that they are taking the cheese out more and more and substiuting seed oil. Which and neither tasty or good for you. Coffee Mate has done the same thing recently with their "Natural" liquid creamer. It used to be milk, cream, sugar and flavoring. Now it is soybean oil and some sort of gum. I no longer buy it for the office refrigerator.

Real food is good for you. This other stuff, not so much.

REAL MAC & CHEESE! Not that stuff in a box!....................

[discostu]

That’s glue and wax. Sourdough, sharp cheddar, and pepper jack.

Schlitz? They still make that stuff?...................

That Velveeta block stirred slowly with a can of Ro-tel tomatoes and a bag of restaurant-style tortilla chips was a staple at parties in the 80s.

Throw a can of Campbell’s cheddar cheese soup in there for added tanginess. (Do they even make that anymore?)

"Let's be honest: American cheese is crap," put in Andy Jacobi, owner of Untamed Sandwiches and Untamed Taqueria. "... the worst variety of Cabot cheddar is still better than the best variety of American cheese."
Tia Keenan, cheese specialist, also condemned processed American cheese, describing the flavor of Kraft Singles as "vile." Heidi Gibson, commander-in-cheese at the American Grilled Cheese Kitchen agrees, noting, "I've always thought it was kind of gross."

I don't think I'd like to meet any of these people. What a bunch of stuck-up pricks.

Go to SW Wisconsin, you’ll have more than your fill. The flavor, texture, ect... Will blow your mind. From a cheese head.

Way worse than the fake cheeze problem that was foisted on us is the hideous FDA approved poison they call "Corn Syrup", you can hardly get away from that chemical based crap, they put it in everything from peanut butter to gasoline .

the BIg Soda gangster/racketeers are guilty of pushing this corn crap poison on us WITH THE POLITICIANS HELP by strong arming supermarkets to MAKE them dominate market shelve space (or else) .

Diet sodas are pure poison, its survivable, (but so is the "vax"), that doesn't mean its good, main noticeable symptom is vertigo.

You know how American cheese tastes and we're not here to mansplain why you shouldn't like it. Instead, we'll let some chefs, food writers, and everyday food fans take it from here:

That's like asking world-famous wine critics to explain why you shouldn't like Wine Coolers.

Back in ‘73! We had Busch, too. Good old Angie Busch knew how to make beer 125 years ago, but the stuff in ‘73 was bleah! And don’t forget the PBR. Gawd, those were awful fake beers.

My FIRST BEER was a Schlitz.

Was given to me to drink as a adolescent. Tasted AWFUL!🤢

Perhaps that is why I never developed a ‘taste’ for beer like my peers did.......................

Thanks for the tip, but no. My mind still knows I’m eating cheese, and I may psyche myself into feeling the indigestion anyway. The alarm bells will be ringing anyway. I’ve learned to just do without it, unless a little is mixed into some pasta sauce.

I still know how to use cheese if preparing food for others though. I haven’t forgotten about Monterey Jack and Provolone.

We love love LOVE Cooper Cheese here in this Household.

My generation Z is taking up the slack. It is the only cheese he eats,I feel sorry for his palate.

[vortigern]

I used to love Land O’ Lakes American Cheese until they decided to ‘kill’ the Indian Maiden.

80s? I’m still doing it… missed that memo.
