I dislike the woman but boxed macaroni and cheese is disgusting. Children need to eat the real thing which is totally delicious and nutritious.

I've not heard of any kid dying from the stuff. Origins go back to 1916 and more recently during the Depression.

Enriched Macaroni product (wheat flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate [iron], thiamin mononitrate [vitamin B1], riboflavin [vitamin B2], folic acid); cheese sauce mix (whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, salt, sodium tripolyphosphate, contains less than 2% of citric acid, lactic acid, sodium phosphate, calcium phosphate, yellow 5, yellow 6, enzymes, cheese culture)

I agree, but I don't bother to make it because my kids will only eat the box stuff.

I agree with your disgusting comment! Who in their right mind thought Mac and Cheese should to be bright orange?

When you're a college student cramped in a dorm or a low-income family on a tight budget, you don't have a personal chef that can grate fresh cheese and cook it over elbow macaroni like Michelle can.

Boxed mac and cheese isn't designed to be part of a gourmet dinner. It's designed for busy families, whiny hungry children, teenagers, and people watching their food budget.

I agree. But Michelle needed her “chef friend” to tell her this? Such an idiot and a liar.

I make boxed mac and cheese with real butter and whole milk. What about that isn’t “real food”?

Real macaroni and cheese was Ronald Reagan's favorite dish, BTW.

.... boxed macaroni and cheese is disgusting.

You are obviously not preparing this gourmet delight properly. Many are unaware that the box is not to be opened. One merely places the box into violently boiling, slightly salted water. Do not serve until the box, that funky envelope inside the box, AND the Mac stuff have dissolved completely.

May I suggested a slightly chilled Boone's Farm to go with that, or perhaps before that?

I enjoy boxed every now and then but it’s pretty exciting the first time you make your own starting with a basic bechamel sauce. Everyone should try it. It’s a good gateway to the world of classical French pan sauces.

I agree. I make delicious homemade Mac and cheese. The grandkids won’t eat it because it tastes different from the box stuff......and It is what they’re used to and like!
